This is a good reminder of the fact that any important open-source project has many stakeholders, and as the project grows, *most* of those stakeholders will inevitably be "non-technical."
WWW for instance. Arguably, now crucial for the worldwide economy.
I'm "mildly technical" on BItcoin w/r/t the average person, but I'm not poring through code on Github or dissecting the mempool or anything like that. I've gone back and forth on Core vs Knots, honestly an "undecided voter." The fact that there are pretty decent arguments on both sides, ignoring the ad hominems and finger-pointing, shows me that this is a "good conflict" to have.
It'll work itself out one way or another.
