I'd take exception with the notion that the MCU shouldn't execute his code if it's assembled for execution at 0x000.

There's a big proviso there.

So long as he's absolutely certain he's not initialized the MCU, which it appears he hasn't, no interrupts should occur, so his lack of reset or interrupt "vectors" should be just fine

But the point was that the specific processor was not stated.

Many modern processors do have stuff - apart from just interrupts - that would be required to be set up properly.

Usually they try to make it so that the chip will "just run" like an Original Intel 8051 - but you shouldn't really rely on it
