With comments here, I try to maintain an assumption of good faith as often as possible. Meaning I have to allow and even assume that you're sharing these concerns because you honestly think that the risks are serious enough to justify discouraging any use of this technology.
But even though I will assume this, I still think that your information comes from a pipeline with a bad actor somewhere. The omissions and the hyperbole are just too consistent.
