I see. And I agree, I don't know why anyone would dismiss it outright.
I also don't know Bob, but I have worked with large-scale distributed systems enough to moderately follow the input submitted by Adam Back and CSUWildcat (Daniel) and concur about the nature of the problem given the architecture.
That doesn't take anything away from what Nostr is right now. But as an objective, grounded answer to the question that was asked, I don't think there's a better one.

Smart guy who’s worked hard in or adjacent to what nostr seeks to solve for for a long time. And 3 years ago, I was very bullish on DID, even driving our then-product in personal data storage to integrate. Then I saw the reality of how top-down and arguably over-engineered DID is—not unlike AT.
Rough consensus and running code gets my vote every time.
I get it for sure, 80/20 rule is universally applicable.
I didn't know you were in the DID space! Would love to learn more about your perspectives on that.
