Compile-time bloat and runtime bloat are not equivalent. Runtime bloat inflicts pain upon users and therefore is usually worse.

Yes.. Don't you think that's why he bothered mentioning the words "runtime" and "compile-time"?

Well, the way I read what he wrote was that he was suggesting that bloat is bloat wherever it happens so that it's all a wash.
