Yes, "can't" should be replace by "shouldn't".

If there's a physical possibility, it's just a matter of time before someone finds a way, as was proved by the CPU cache bugs leaking information.

"shouldn't" is ambiguous as it might suggest the responsibility is with the the user of eBPF rather than internal to it.

Perhaps "is designed not to" but that's a mouthful.

I think we should accept "can't" and yet know the limitations of certainty.
