Yeah, that part is a bit grand-standey. It was awkward to read.

Also, it’s not very correct. You could dump bits straight into a memory buffer and still sanitize them before use. It’s not as insane of a security issue as presented. It’s more like downloading a file today and not executing it. It technically passed though your system memory, it was just never executed as instructions.

Well, I think it made the author feel good about themselves so maybe they didn’t notice it doesn’t serve a purpose to the reader. It happens a lot.
