Could be. What's your interpretation?

Bear in mind that I'm an experienced developer, and consequently am reluctant to call someone a "moron" who should "not be allowed to touch a keyboard" on the basis of the occasional bug in their code.

Yes, confusing memcpy() and memmove() is a novice mistake, but I've done dumber things, and it'd be nice if my users didn't have to pay the price. If the OS or CRTL can save them from my error by rendering the error harmless without any real downside, then it should do so.
