No, you're reading into what I wrote. It's merely typical of most RISC

That's an unhelpful juxaposition of my words. The point here is general
education of meanginless terms - you've demostrated the point nicely -
there's no such thing as a "flash based browser".

No one has "claimed" much of anything. What is your point?
