What is the contrast here? Static QR codes for invoices can't be done at all with BOLT11. And how is this related to privacy? Blinded paths is often the feature associated with increased (receiver) privacy - and those can be done with BOLT11 as well.

> What is the contrast here? I don't think I'm making a contrast. I originally said that bolt12 is bad for privacy if you reuse it, because it involves reusing a pubkey over and over again. After a correction from Matt, I slightly revise my point: it's still true that bolt12 is bad for privacy if you reuse it, but that's not because it involves reusing a pubkey over and over (though it does), it's because you're reusing *anything.* For good privacy, never reuse any data across two different services.
