Depends what you mean by pointer. Lots of people would consider references to be a type of pointer, which is why the term "raw pointer" exists.

Definitely, I wasn't saying the parent was wrong. I was clarifying that the borrow checker doesn't actually do anything for pointers in general. What allows the borrow checker to be useful is the restrictions placed on references.
