It’s insane that whenever you suggest when someone actually understands subsystems well and you defer to them for guidance (things people do all the time in real life). People on here shout “appeal to authority!!”. They parrot this phrase without even thinking. What is your alternative? Ask your grandma instead? Is this the knots position? Its thats a fallacy then i will happily own it over appeal to retards.

solution for you is to back the fuck off.
#bitcoin works just fine and doesnt need your fat suburban thoughts mucking up its gears.
The gears will be mucked with; that’s the flaw of code.
you say that with a sense of fatalism, and also as if all ways of dealing with the code are the same - yet there are clearly other approaches that dont risk fucking yourself in the ass:
Correct, there are arguments worth making that are technically structurally unsound. Common misconception in critical thinking. Identifying a fallacy is not a winning argument in and of itself. Appeal to authority is only fallacious when the argument depends on it and the authority's (implied) argument is fallacious. It *can be* an indicator that the underlying structure is unsound, but not necessarily. It's like a dependency.
Not as well known as the "appeal to Authority" fallacy but useful nonetheless.:
Argumentum ad hominem
a formal fallacy that occurs when one concludes that a proposition must be false simply because an argument used to support it is fallacious.
