That's like arguing everything causes cancer, therefore smoking is fine.

The equivalent of an argument that everything causes cancer => smoking is fine would be all bugs are security bugs => don't bother fixing the bug underpinning a known a remote code execution exploit.

Which is not at all what I was getting at. Again, don't spend time trying to argue why this or that bug is probably fine actually and not "really" a security problem, fix it and then it isn't.
