Well, he's not lying as it is certain beyond his powers to
force anyone to do anything he is determined to avoid. OTOH, if the
effort necessary for avoiding systemd turns out to be much larger than
any conceivable damage caused by using it, you surely can't blame the
systemd developers for that as "helping people avoid using systemd" is
obviously not their business.

Somewhat enlightening (I hope) other example of this kind of sophistry:
A delta blues player known as Bukka White was once arrested for killing
another man. Reportedly, he then stated "I never meant to kill him, I
just wanted to discharge a revolver I pointed at his head. That he then
died was his own business".
