Right, would be interesting :)

Don't know if you saw my post from yesterday, but i found exactly one *p2tr* output above 0.02btc, in the past year, with an invalid EC point. Kinda interesting result.

Of course it doesn't imply there aren't more than that, in that category, that are unspendable. Do you think there are a ton more invalid EC points with dusty amounts?

Yes, one of the recent Ordinals-related protocols is dumping data into pubkeys.
