I'm not getting #17: Trust Nonstatic Final Fields.

> what happens if someone changes that field?

The field is final. The static is final. How can the field be changed? Reflection?

Final applies to the field, not the object. You can still mutate the object pointed at by a final field.

Sure, but the instance's only field, is final.

The static reference KNOWN_M is final, and the only field of the pointed-to instance, x, is also final.
