"This is a data interpretation problem."

That's what I said. "Defining it is what's hard."

You seem to understand what I'm saying, and agree with me, but insist on arguing for some reason I cannot comprehend.

Literally the opposite. Your initial statement was

      Measuring memory usage is hard on a modern OS.
Which you've agreed was false as /proc/$PID/maps is easy to read. Then said:

      Defining it is what's hard
But these statements are not mutually inclusive nor does the later imply the former.

I stated measuring is literally the simplest thing. You said ah but what you measuring. That isn't dependent on the tools, or OS. So why did you state it was?

Nooooo... somebody else made that initial statement. My initial statement was "Measuring it is easy. Defining it is what's hard."

Are you just arguing with me because you didn't realize I was somebody else?
