Your original claim was that I was wrong for saying that there are always going to be exceptions to the hard rule that root processes must not, under any circumstances, be allowed to gain kernel privileges. That means that there's no exception for owner consent.

The difference is that we are talking about two different things.
You are apparently talking about Linux as a whole and I am talking about a particular instance running. For a given instance it should be possible to restrict root from being equal to kernel privileges. For some configurations we already have that today (Android probably).
For Linux as a whole that's not the case, of course. It must always be possible to opt out of that per admin choice. (or rather the other way around to opt-in to lockdown, of course)
So, it's not really disagreement, it's two different things. Both are true at the same time.
