I didn't take them as such. But I am the one who combined these posts from @murch when they were posted in separate contexts.
I didn't think it through all that much, so your comments were helpful and much appreciated. But it raises the question in my mind next: when should one delete a post (I don't want to mislead anyone who doesn't read the comments here) versus leaving it up because it might help with education if they do read the comments?
Yes, it's definitely me who, in my ignorance, was drawing the comparison here. I probably should have made that more clear.

Yeah they know but in the absence of solid arguments it only remains to spread FUD to fill hollow skulls.
You can't really compare a downstream fork (and especially not a rebasing one) to its upstream though, that's not apples to apples, because the fork can (and often does, also outside of this particular instance) include all or much of the upstream work too. Besides, Core is still the reference client, so you can't really compare any other Bitcoin client to that.
What you can do is compare btcd to libbitcoin, or compare knots to Peter's libre-relay if you want apples-to-apples.
