I agree. My point is that you cannot know for sure what data is more or less important until the person who created the data tells you.
If you use steganography you understand that principle, but haven't generalized the knowledge that it applies to data filtering also.
Listen, I know your stance on filtering. I do not agree because of an ideological difference not a technical one. I do not spend my time acquiescing to the state just because I know that their will be imposed on me. I resist. I apply this same principle to data on my node. I hold monetary transaction data as sacred and pass along the message. I do not do the same with non-monetary data. It is my code, my machine. I care not for the futility or ends because the means and ends are my own.
I apply steganographic methods to data systems meant for those data. I do not barge into Russia and demand that they let me write my english words. Even if I hack their language and type Вутсч as a protest, I am defiling their language. I hold myself morally responsible for that. I know others may not but their conscience is not mine to listen to. Hiding my data among MY property is my perogative.
Much like the allegory of the little girl returning starfish to the sea but unable to save them all, I still try because that is my nature.
You can run so many filters you need more CPU than a monero miner to keep up with block validation for all I care.
My issue is that making it about filters doesn't fix the real issue of implanting illegal data to make node running illegal. It is a bandaid on a bullet wound.
Yet mechanic and Luke are running around telling everyone how great bandaids are.
I want people to understand the real issue so that a real fix can be implemented.
All the knots vs core look at my filter, filter or do nothing false dichotomy is a circus sideshow distracting from the real fix.
