The other part is that almost no one would have the energy to spend hours instrumenting and rebuilding musl, reading the kernel mm code, and thinking hard about how they might interact.

Claude is probably not right about the root cause here and is probably bsing, I agree. But it's collected enough raw data to point some expert humans at the right interaction. I'd take this bs bug report and start asking Claude some questions that would guide it to a more plausible actual answer, but that requires a little more experience in kernel development.

Maybe because it isn’t needed. That’s the reason we have experts and professionals, because it’s more economical to use them than for everyone to start from scratch. It’s easier to go to a mechanic shops to fix my engine block than to try to do it myself. I’ve heard that a lot of shops charge more if you said an amateur try to fix things first.

It’s a lot of stuff, but that’s not how you experiment for an hypothesis.
