Kudos to you to keep trying the civil conversation going, it's essential. I gave up because I came to the conclusion that there is no real motivation to discuss the issue at hand from core.

As Jimmy Song beautifully said "though couched in technical terms, the argument is ultimately an economic one".

I believe this can also be seen in core ppl being super willing to engage in technical discussion of this topic (they replied even to me for hours on this), but as soon as you try to include in the convo non-technical aspects (i.e. economic ones) they stop engaging all of a sudden. This happened systematically 95% of the time

At the end of the day their rationale for the change is not "purely technical", nor should it be. The change is (purportedly) an attempt to change the economic incentives. So any economic arguments against the change should be addressed.

Yes but core is being very clever in debating. As soon as you introduce in the convo economic incentives/conflict of interests, they state that “things should be debated on a purely technical basis, nothing else”. They actively limit the scope of what can be discussed

Anyway I loved the you&Mechanic / Todd&Shinobi debate a while back, it was incredibly useful to better grasp the situation. Just wished it lasted 4 hours!
