UUID(s) nuts

The article says "anyone can set a UUID". But it also says it requires 128 bits. It doesn't elude to that software is
required: WHICH IT IS.

The article doesn't say UUID can't be stored on any disks: byut only within the header for filesystems
(which must be supported) on a partition (which must also be supported) of a disk.

Personally, I just tried to set UUID on a flash stick and I get blank <none>, but other software (an emulator) insists
I must "use UUID" to conform with it's "booting methods"

"anyone can set a UUID" is far from true

MORESO, saying anything 128-bit (that isn't human readable and has no real standard except changing standard) is
equivalent to "being a UUID" is absolutely assanine. By those standards any collected 128-bit from anyhwere are
categorized under a new name. But the proper name for that is guess what? 128 bits.
