By that he means a contract directly putting the storage of another contract on its own stack. It’s “adversarial” because the other contract could have kindly set up views to allow access to its state but didn’t do so, therefore you have to directly grab its raw storage state.

I’m not convinced that allowing these is a good idea, I’m not convinced it’s a bad idea either.
