This is a tangent, but I find it (somewhat) annoying when f.a.q's don't answer their own questions. I see this happen occasionally and I always wonder if it's intentional to side-step an issue by raising it yourself, and then answering something else.

> Can RAMBleed be detected by antivirus? > We believe that it is very unlikely that any antivirus software on the market currently detects RAMBleed.



What should they say? It's theoretically possible for any AV to detect the bug (how else did they prove it exists?) but a simple "Yes" hardly conveys accurate information.


I find it the other way around annoying, talking in absolutes when one is not sure.


Seems like this would happen when many people ask the same question and you don't have an answer so you post the best response you can.
