On the Core side, what is the argument against Knots?

That it doesn't 100% guarantee spam mitigation? That's just comp sci pedantry -- some rules are meant to balance or nudge; not guarantee the elimination of behavior.

Knots is revitalizing people's interest in running nodes, and IF YOU TRULY BELIEVE that it DOESNT ACTUALLY ACCOMPLISH ANYTHING OUTSIDE OF INTENDED NODE OPERATION, THEN WHAT IS THE NET HARM OCCURRING HERE?
