Building a More Secure World with the RISC-V ISA

You outline only a single solution of which there are many. The thing RISC-V gets you is the ability to iterate on an implementation while still running the body of existing code. As ridiculous as it seems, this hasn't been possible before. RISC-V didn't technically need to exist but it did politically and legally.

I don't think your equation is fact or rigorous, I respect your work but it call bull on it. And there are way more than 3 options, this is a false dichotomy.

I think this equation actually makes sense when only the same people/minds are changing the factors. If the same team is given the task of improving a product, chances are they will be close minded and only able to tweak say security at the expense of the other two.

To break this equation, you need a new paradigm, which often comes from outsiders adding their perspective. And open source is a great way to do this.
