I do not understand what you mean by that expression.
I was just trying to sum-up Robert's opposition to erroring on misleading
configurations (eg "host=1.2.3.4 hostaddr=4.3.2.1") instead of complying
to it whatever, as is currently done. Probably my phrasing could be
improved, but I do not think that I misrepresented Robert's position.
Note that the issue is somehow mitigated by 6e5f8d489a: \conninfo now
displays a more precise information, so that at least you are not told
that you are connected to a socket when you a really connected to an ip,
or to one ip when you a really connected to another.
