Wrong word. I mean "fallacy".

Seems I have never used general purpose computers actually. When I
install naked FreeBSD, hardly I can even read PDFs! But I tend to extend
its functionality. I install software for viewing PDFs. Vim for better
text editing. Something for image viewing and video files watching.
But... well, I do not extend its functionality for running arbitrary
remote code, not installing firefox/chromium. I do not want my computer
to do general things -- only those I want to. And my computer even can
not process/view Word documents. Anyway I like that.
