Huh? There are many posts about triaging potential LPE reports on his blog. That would show they do take them seriously or they wouldn't waste time on them.

I didn't say they ignore them, just that they assume there are many LPE bugs and they advise people to assume full takeover after any user-level local code execution. Yes, I know about browsers and JavaScript.
