"On the JVM: the named argument syntax cannot be used when calling Java functions because Java bytecode does not always preserve names of function parameters." This sentence just means that I can't call Java methods from Kotlin with the named parameter syntax?

...the named argument syntax cannot be used when calling Java functions...

...I can't call Java methods from Kotlin with the named parameter syntax?

Maybe I'm missing something, but your question is the answer almost word for word, so I can't see how a yes/no answer would be any more helpful. Can you elaborate on what is unclear?

Sometimes you just need to explicitly here the answer from someone else.

Yea lol, when I wrote it I already thought "this sounds kinda exactly the same" but there was a very subtle uncertainty

I get that. I didn't mean to suggest your uncertainty is invalid, I was just trying to point out a yes or no answer won't be very helpful as we can't discern from your question what exactly you're uncertain about, if that makes sense.

yea that makes sense
