no - the only one who is obtuse in that thread is you
because you ignore over a long time that this is a
client issue nobody on the server side can help you

downgrade the client or treat it's developers - period

the server don't need to see specific errors
so stop calling others obtuse while you are lacking depper knowldege

try it out, just connect in a loop to a mysqld server followed
by a disconnect and you will trigger it too - any connection
not ending in a successfull login counts

so if cour broken client connects, don't like the repsone
and decides to close the connection there is not much else
than add +1 to the count for the server side
