Yes you can, but I wouldn't do so silently.

Why not? The absolute worst that we get, is the rare case where a bug
appears at the exact same time. In that case, we would get a false
negative.

And I think that is really really rare.

Well, we wouldn't even know how rare it is because we don't track it!

It may be a harmless note but might also be a design flaw in the
monitor, so it should be possible to understand when it happens.

Yes, if you really want to emit some sort of warning here, it should
be
absolutely clear that the monitor itself is having a hiccup, not the
monitored kernel.

Yeah totally, not saying that other errors reported in the wild are
going to be necessarily the kernel's fault though ;)
But let's keep these cases separate going forward nonetheless.

Thanks,
