You are, of course, most welcome to offer your contributions — whether in debate or in contestation of the points I have raised – beyond the hollow reverberations of yet another LLM echo chamber.

The information I used to contest the original statement comes from the AArch64 ISA documentation as well as from the infamous «M1 Explainer (070)» publication, namely sections titled «Theory of a modern OoO machine» and «How Do “set flags” Instructions, Like ADDS, Modify the History File?».

Thanks for the link to that article, by the way! I missed a lot of the “ephemeral literature” that was being passed around when M1 was first released and we were collectively trying to understand it.
