Then please enlighten me, what was the "fairly serious CPU correctness bug found by [my] employer"?
You read the previous tweet, and concluded I must be saying that NaCl cannot hit any future undiscovered CPU data corruption? I cannot help thinking that is a bad faith interpretation Dan.

It is literally my point that Intel and AMD make chips that are much more complex than the vendors you ban and therefore have a lot more data corruption bugs. You're saying that point is an inherently bad faith argument?

Yes. NaCl requires a few obscure areas to work under adversarial conditions in a very predictable way that we can test, how is it relevant that other areas can fail?

CPU erratas are generally not of the form "data can be corrupted", they have context that explains the necessary conditions for the corruption. NaCl has requirements, that often means those conditions cannot be met, and therefore are not relevant.
