That you should also not trust every line of the compiled assembly after you wrote the code, and check it lime by line, is an extremely stupid argument.

I guess it's good that no one is making that argument then.

    that is the argument linus is making... he is comparing a deterministic tool (a compiler that outputs the same assembly every time) to a non-deterministic tool and saying that they are the same type of tool. that require the same level of review, when they do not.

    Yes, but that's not the argument Mikina was stating. Linus was never advocating for reading assembly line by line. Linus was using that as a satirical example, not suggesting anyone should actually do that.
