> LOL, you're right. The bootloader or UEFIwhatever starts the kernel.

Everyone who's read your excellent troubleshooters.com artlces about
inits figured out that your fingers were merely on autopilot or
something, but you _definitely_ knew that PID1 is the init, PID0 is the
kernel, and whatever hands excecution over to the kernel doesn't have a
PID because nothing is yet running to issue them.
