I doubt he meant that. Surely he meant that if you read and then execute a bytecode object, you can easily crash Emacs.
We could fix this problem by verifying that a series of bytecodes cannot make Emacs crash, before allowing the bytecodes to be executed. But wouldn't that be a reasonably large project?
