A dynamic linker is typically used to link a DLL to an already running

Which is incorrect, as I already demonstrated in the other thread.
Please read this:

An exe file cannot be run directly without any modification. An exe
file does not contain pure machine code.
It would also be very easy for you to prove me wrong: Just open any
exe file with a hex editor, and report what you find at the beginning.
If you find machine code, then you are correct and I'm wrong. If you
find non-machine code (namely the id "MZ" followed by header and relocation
data for the dynamic linker) then you are wrong.
Of course you won't do that, because then you would find yourself in
a difficult position: You can't admit being wrong, yet you can't lie even
to yourself that you were right. Thus it's better for your sanity to *not*
read that article nor check an exe file with a hex editor, and instead live
in the illusion that you are right because you say so.
Looks like you don't have a clue what you are talking about.
This is called psychological projection (look it up).
