Thank you once again for the detailed reply.
I appreciate that you have a nuanced position on the topic of Docker security, based on deep expertise. Sadly, that nuance is lost on 99% of the people I see shouting that "Docker is insecure", the same people who presumably downvoted my original comment into oblivion. They are calling Docker insecure not because they understand what you explained (they don't), but because they have heard half-truths or outright fabrications, and are repeating them with absolute conviction, without bothering to argue their point or check even the most basic facts. As someone who has a lot of actual first-hand experience with Docker I find that very frustrating.
So, although I agree with everything you said, and appreciate that you took the time to write it down; I believe that your answer has unintentionally vindicated the many people lurking on this site who hold the widespread, almost cult-like belief that Docker is very insecure - insecure to the level of gross negligence, in a way that you and I understand it isn't.
