If you don't want to listen to my part of the argument then consider the point of view of those who have maintained systems entirely based on binary editing, namely systemtap and LKET. It's indicative that all those who have been involved in tracing, be it by static instrumentation of code or the use of binary editing, all favor some form of static markup mechanism of the code.
