I've yet to see a counterexample involving a software-based edge router in a realistic testbed environment being deliberately packeted in order to cause an availability hit - apologies if I've missed one, mind.
Your arguments revolve around "My Ford Pinto's gas tank once exploded on me and it happened to other people too, therefore all inexpensive cars have unsafe gas tanks."
Actually, it's more along the lines of, "I've seen multiple accidents involving multiple brands/models of economy-class automobiles in which the passengers were grievously-injured or worse, while also having observed passengers walking away from similar accidents in similar circumstances involving heavier, more sturdily-built vehicles."
