Well enough to know that it's not a holy document, is incomplete at describing the system, and is often misinterpreted by religious fanatics.

Yeah, it’s not a holy document. You’re right! But, it is the soundest form of money ever known to mankind and you want to fuck with it. I was on the fence with BIP110. You just solidified my choice.
All you influencers out there not calling Lopp out on his shit are just as culpable. Yeah, I’m a nobody Lopp. 50+ year old with 90+% of my wealth in bitcoin. No skin in the fuck’n game. Bash away!
Sweet! Do you have the balls to put your bitcoin where your mouth is?
Back in September I publicly offered to enter into a wager with anyone who was claiming that Bitcoin Core v30 was going to result in a massive node crash / network outage. Nary a Knotzi took me up on it, to my great chagrin.
Today I'm making a similar, but better, offer to BIP-110 supporters. I propose we enter into a trustless fork futures contract. I'll take the side that will make the deposited BTC only spendable if BIP-110 fails, you take the side that's only spendable upon success.
Minimum 1 BTC wager to make it worth my time. Come take my coins and show us your conviction! Who will have the guts to put their money where their mouth is?

But not well enough to realize that in the paper, Bitcoin is considered only as money. Not as a repository for cat pictures. As you seem to imply.
Like I said, it's an incomplete high level document. Bitcoin whitepaper purists should note that the following things are NOT described in the whitepaper:
script
multisig
block size
addresses
ASIC mining
mining pools
21M coin cap
decentralization
8 decimal precision
2016 block difficulty adjustment
and much, much more...
