kernel in OS

As the kernel definition tells about kernel is "the kernel is a computer program that manages I/O (input/output) requests from software, and translates them into data processing instructions for the central processing unit and other electronic components of a computer".
I think have read on XDA that if there is wrong programing of kernel then i will hard brick the android phone.Will it be the same case with the computer?

    Hard brick is the state of android device that occurs when your device won’t boot at all i.e. no boot loop, etc. This occurs due to trying to install ROM not made for your device or using ROM Manager incorrectly. This is more difficult to resolve and often require professional help.

    During hard brick, the device’s kernel gets messed up, mainly due to incorrect ROM or kernel installation. (Kernel being the base which interact with the hardware). You can recover from hard brick by using JTAG or send your phone to JTAG service center to get it repaired.
