that is the argument linus is making… he is comparing a deterministic tool (a compiler that outputs the same assembly every time) to a non-deterministic tool and saying that they are the same type of tool. that require the same level of review, when they do not.

Yes, but that’s not the argument Mikina was stating. Linus was never advocating for reading assembly line by line. Linus was using that as a satirical example, not suggesting anyone should actually do that.
