Cornered men fight hardest. Kill filters, and every policy debate turns into a battle over consensus.
Discussion
the pseudo-bitcoiners arguing for eliminating filters are just warming up for arguing in favor of expanding the non-bitcoin transaction content, and this is an attack on the small node runner and miners, and an attack on the decentralization of bitcoin. the reason why they don't get it is because tehy are of the school of "leave it to the professionals" when the WHOLE POINT of bitcoin is "don't trust, verify" and maximizing the number of participants in the consensus.
