Where do people get ideas like this from? Just nonsense.

ARM, the ISA, is wholly rooted in academic exercises like Berkeley RISC.

What do you think happened? RISC-I and RISC-II never existed, ARM means "Automated Reasoning Mechanism" and the ISA was never RISC whatsoever?

Talk about nonsense, damn...
