My opinion about things being broken in the protocol is as irrelevant as yours, I just don't think weighing in against the good faith builders with the number of followers in your orbit is productive or a good idea.

Sorry to tag you specifically, there are lots of names I could throw out that would fall into the same category. When influencers like yourself get too big for their britches they end up thinking that their opinion is more valuable than it really is. Because of the influence they have over the ignorant followers in their own community, they actually do have a certain (albeit minute) sway over the protocol.

Just like how the longer you've been in the space the more compounding you've seen in both your knowledge and your stack, your feelings of validation and confidence expand as your body of work grows. The problem is, without practical experience in the building of things, you don't have the perspective to back your beliefs or knowledge. I think my analogy around construction is an apt one. I'll try another:

A streamer who streams a particular video game and plays that game really well, and has been playing for years, has a great understanding of the game and how to play it. He also has a considerable influence on what is popular within that game's community. That doesn't mean he knows the first thing about what changes will break that game. Even the devs often don't know, but it requires constant maintenance and actively looking for potential problems in order to find them before they become consequential.

That's why when someone who is able to point out potential problems from a position of practical experience does so, the correct course of action is to investigate, corroborate, collaborate, and eliminate by the least invasive means possible.

Again, sorry to pick on you when i could easily have put another influencer like nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx or whoever else on the other side of the particular debate that was on my mind.

Merry Christmas
