I am not saying "_with_ the", I am saying "**by** the", which highlights the difference. Pointer arithmetic operator `+` does an internal scaling, cathing the misuse of this is the goal of the improvement that was done in the previous patch.

This does not explain why it is an issue, only reiterates what is visible otherwise from the code.
