  I'm probably having a brainfart (watched the video during insomnia), but re: the section 12m 10s into the video, can someone please clarify why "the instructions are dangerously wrong"?

  I understand it relates to the earlier demo in which those instructions gave the illusion of "verifying" an ISO that was in fact malicious. But:

  • why did those instructions fail to genuinely verify the ISO?
  • what would the correct instructions have been?

  If only that were true.

  Sadly, there are thousands of sociopaths, narcissists, and authoritarians who are all too happy to do that work, especially if it pays highly.
