> The point of hand sanitizer is to reject infectious diseases outright.... you know, so they don’t get IN your body. There is no such thing as "infectious input data". > You seem to have adopted a narrowly defined sense of sanitization which does not include “mercilessly discard/destroy”. None of the dictionaries I just checked support such a definition. They are all about "changing something to be more sane/sanitary/pleasant/acceptable/...". Also, mind you a hand sanitizer doesn't destroy your hand, it destroys microbes, in order to make your hand sanitary, so as to enable you to continue using your hand instead of rejecting/disarding it. Which is exactly the kind of thing you should not ever do with input data.
