That's exactly my impression. The lunatics driving this mad train of hate over fields they have no expertise in whatsoever are conflating things left and right that are denoting different concepts who aren't interchangeable.

Reminds me of that woman who forced the change of master branch into main at github while posing as a "programmer" or "security researcher". I looked into her profile, only PRs for typos in documentation or cruft like that. No serious contribution. Only hate.
