Of course, it's very easy to think you're in category 2 when you're really in category 1 but don't see how you're wrong...

But are all instances of category 2 actually category 1? That’s a strong claim.

It is, and it's a claim that I didn't make. But even if it were true, I think people won't believe that it's true, because there will be instances where they won't understand the borrow checker's reasoning.

I think you can understand what the borrow checker is doing and still think it is being too stringent.
