The two are not the same thing, but providing information about
something often has the effect of promoting it.
The node References in the GNU Coding standards explains the relationship,
including its subtleties.

Maybe so, but what the node References actually says is not dogmatic.
It also does not criticize anyone. It merely states our policy
about how to handle such issues.

I agree, but we are not as radical as you're saying.

Does anyone here advocate that? I don't.
I understand that you feel offended. But responding to that by
fighting "back" will only increase hostility. Someone else will fight
"back" by attacking you.
Please, everyone, stop attacking other people. If you can't stay calm,
stay quiet.
