I just want to point and shame this top-voted comment [0] that dismissed with the characteristic self-assurance of the armchair specialist the very possibility of it; and all the users who upvoted it, purely because it sounded like a “rational opinion”; and all the users who impulsively downvoted my post which provided partial evidence to the contrary.

Don't be petty, it's not good for you. Besides, as is, their comment is still accurate and a great addition to the discussion.
The vehement tone was unwarranted and encouraging an attitude of self-assured “common sense” is very problematic, when there are many agents, both commercial and political, who can use it to avoid suspicion about their closed source ecosystems.
