I said "the idea of using memory safe languages is great!" And "using memory safe languages does not eliminate attack surface". (It's pre coffee here so I appreciate your probe)

I meant that it's over-reach to say it's completely trustworthy just bc it's written in a GC/borrow checked language.

The premise of my post was "imagine a memory safe kernel". I repeatedly use the word "imagine".
The disagreement is that you wrote "imagine a memory safe kernel" but appear to have meant "imagine a kernel with zero vulnerabilities of any kind", and those things are not equivalent.
