> 1. I didn't make that claim.

Then you didn't read my previous comment correctly. AV2 must be "fast enough" if the designers aren't crazy. And AV2 is 5x slower than AV1. Therefore if compiled code is within a factor of five of hand-written assembly, it's "fast enough" for AV1, and h.264, and probably h.265 too.

You were disagreeing with my claim that other codecs could be "fast enough" with a safe compiler, right? If you weren't disagreeing, I don't know why you challenged me to show you some particular kind of code.

> 2. A negative assertion doesn't require evidence. If I say "this is impossible to do" the burden to disprove me is showing it's actually possible. You can't prove a negative. For example, if I say "the tooth fairy doesn't exist" I don't need to provide evidence of the tooth fairy's non-existence. If you disagree, you need to provide evidence to the contrary.

You're saying it's "simply impossible" for a compiler to optimize instructions to a certain level. But anything one person can code, another person can teach a compiler to do in similar situations. I don't need to show you an example, I just need to point you at the Church-Turing thesis and related documents.
