Your milk/bread comparison is specious and invalid. I might say "As an apple enthusiast -- the fruit kind -- I want you to know that apple seeds have arsenic so don't eat lots of them" without having to disclaim every other fruit existing and possibly toxins found in parts of them. If some true-believer apple fan felt victimized, well that would be bizarre, right?

This is a SQLite guy talking about SQLite to SQLite users. They're describing a feature/possible downside of SQLite that users might want to be aware of. They don't need "balanced" coverage of every other DB because it hurts someone's bizarrely fragile feelings. And as I mentioned elsewhere, almost all "enterprise" databases do do checksums by default, if people really want to lean on this "no one does! Leave SQLite alone" argument.

And Turso is literally a SQLite-based firm. This isn't the aha you think it is.
