Just to play devils advocate, the whole point of the Knots peoples position is that core devs are compromised, so appeals to authority does nothing to sway them. You have to break it down and teach if the goal is to get people to change their opinion.
Right or wrong, the sentiment you shared is 100% ad hominem and 0% substantive argument.
so your “substantive argument” is that all core devs (including me i guess) is under a grand conspiracy to undermine bitcoin .
And mine is: domain experts actually know what they are doing. Which is an “ad hominem “ somehow
Ok bud 🙄
That's appeal to authority but if you're accusing the other person's opinion of being meaningless because they're not in your "expert" category, it's also ad hominem
You have me muted because you're a glowie, so I guess you won't see this
I don’t think you’re in on some grand conspiracy, but the fact you won’t consider (publicly at least) the issues that aren’t filter related is… 🤔
Is it that:
- You don’t want to risk your future Core contributions being rejected for not towing the line?
- You want to keep the argument centered on filters so it’s easy to dismiss Knots as stupid?
- You know something we don’t?
It doesn’t need to be that all Core devs are in on it. There’s enough concern just with Todd, Lopp and Citrea and the way it seems hastily forced through despite objections.
As I said before:

this is a fundamental misunderstanding of how bitcoin contributions work. there is not some central authority that gatekeeps contributions. luke has controversial takes all the time, so do I and every other core dev.
we all disagree all the time. this is basic engineering. the point is to get rough consensus from subsystem domain experts.
Straw man. Not your argument.

>struggles to tie shoes, evoking antisemitism, etc.
Not saying there’s a grand conspiracy. Just pointing out the efforts to educate as to why core > knots have been lacking.
also not true. this is the comprehensive answer that knots people have yet to reply to because they can't
