Linux's 32-Bit Kernel Has Been Buggy Since Being Mitigated For Meltdown

It's remarkable how many people in the comments are confusing 64bit processing with 64bit memory addressing. 32bit programs can use 64bit memory addressing, 64bit processing is to do with enabling the CPU to do larger calulations, store larger numbers in their registers and improving performance by enabling new optimisations.

Your point is very well taken.
There are two basic reasons for this: (1) most people do not really know how a computing machine operates, and (2) most people have a serious problem with comprehending what they read--they tend to make not objective, fact-based responses, but rather subjective comments based on what they believe to be true.
