Was it cryptic. I didn't get your humour either?

With init and shell rc. You are guaranteed control and adaptability and
easier understanding of all executions. With systemd you may have to
work within the expected configurations.

Basically, the premise is that a minimal Linux system should be X times
bigger.

This means you may have to recompile like the Gentoo distro to get the
system you want. Like you currently have to do if you want a smaller
kernel.
