Incorrect, only true if you fix the scale parameter. I normally wouldn't nitpick like this but your unnecessary usage of bold made me.

It does... if you interpret training as (conditional) MLE. Give me a non-Gaussian distribution with an MLE estimator that yields MSE loss. Also, residuals are explicitly not orthogonal projections whenever the variables are dependent.

In the future know that blocking someone after replying to them prevents them from responding to your reply. This means you are giving the false impression I am not responding to you (but can) to those who are not one of us.
