In GNU Emacs 19.27.1 (i486-linux, X toolkit) of Wed Sep 21 1994 on adam

(defun command-line-1 ...) in lisp/startup.el exhibits brain-dead and
excessively paranoid behavior.

If someone sets inhibit-startup-echo-area-message to their username,
it should be sufficient to disable the startup message in the echo
area.  How it gets set should be irrelevant.

It is apparent that the behavior is an earnest attempt to prevent
site-wide or accidental inhibition of the startup echo area message.
If someone wanted to disable the message for every user, it would get
done, believe me!  They'd edit startup.el, negate a test, and be done
with it.  I don't see the point in opening a temporary buffer,
inserting the entire .emacs file, and doing an inefficient search that
can't handle a multiple line setq, as I have in my .emacs file.

Could the section of code be replaced with a simple check on the value
of inhibit-startup-echo-area-message?
