What's the other one? Something about not attributing to malice what can be adequately explained by using an optimizing compiler?

@leeloo @Sarnau @mayo @dasdom I am not attributing to malice (see: Hanlon’s razor). I assume that the people at Apple us the normal tools. And if they do so, it is most likely that the error message shows up in the binary as is because someone wrote it exactly like that in the source code. Is it possible that the string shows up like that due to compile time substitution? Sure. Is it likely? IMHO: No. That being said, I do not see this thread leading to anywhere, I think it is time to end it.
