 Either way, this model has certainly helped me not only in the formal work on RustBelt, but also in thinking about the Rust type system itself.
 For example, I briefly wondered why `Cell` is not covariant.
-Indeed, if `U <: T`, then it is perfectly safe to turn a `Cell<T>` into a `Cell<U>` -- that is to say, whenever some sequence of bytes is valid at `Cell<T>`, it is also valid at `Cell<U>`.
+Indeed, if `T <: U`, then it is perfectly safe to turn a `Cell<T>` into a `Cell<U>` -- that is to say, whenever some sequence of bytes is valid at `Cell<T>`, it is also valid at `Cell<U>`.
 (In fact, the owned invariant for `Cell<T>` is *exactly the same* as the one for `T`!)
 That's precisely what we need for covariance, right?
 Well, not exactly -- because our types have two invariants, we also have to require that whenever a pointer is a shared `Cell<T>`, it is a shared `Cell<U>`, and that is decisively *not* true!
