enigmatic? Anyone know why

No clue personally, but the author is prolific enough here that I thought it merited posting.

I go with three paths out.

1. it consumes too much systems resources. So its net-negative impact on the system under observation

2. it's misleading and leads to false diagnoses of situations under review

3. she's under an NDA of some kind related to a CVE or some other high class risk which will come out in due course but she felt a burden to stop people being exposed to risk.

4. I can't count and there are 4, 5, 6 other reasons but these 3 are mine.

I'll go with number 3. She didn't just say "don't run", she said "uninstall". That doesn't sound like "misleading" or "uses too much resources". It sounds very CVE-ish.

Another xz case?
