So we should simply accept any bug rolled into a fork without even a discussion about how to address it? I don't understand how the bitcoin team could fix an an accidental fork in 2013, fix a billion coin emission bug, and continually limit Bitcoin-as-storage scenarios, but now we should just throw up our hands and say "o well, it's up to the invisible hand now".

Giving up seems to be the logical inconsistency here.

That’s the thing with “bugs” if it’s actually real bitcoiners will be able to acknowledge them and act.

If we can’t come to agreement that they are bug then they prolly are not bugs.

We come to an agreement through open discussion. At best, we are in "wait and see" mode. If this bug begins to present an existential risk to bitcoin primarily as a transaction network (and not a NAS), don't blame the people who identified the bug early.
