You described something the qmail paper said and I corrected you. If the paper is inaccurate that’s orthogonal.

You're also incorrect about the paper.

Really, the whole argument you're making --- the reason we're talking about Bernstein in the first place --- is broken. Bernstein himself would probably not agree with the take you're trying to derive from the relationship between his work and "enumerating badness".
