Several things to unpack here. “You can still embed data in other fields.” Nirvana Fallacy. Core actively removed the guardrails. BIP-110 puts them back. The argument that imperfect protection means no protection is the same logic used to justify removing seatbelts because they don’t prevent all deaths. “Chain split unless miners cave like SegWit.” You just described exactly how a UASF works — and then called it unlikely because BIP-110 is “pointless.” That’s circular. The pointlessness is your assertion, not your evidence. “Risk of large reorgs.” You then wrote: “I don’t think this is likely.” You raised a catastrophic scenario you don’t believe in, to imply recklessness. That’s a phantom threat — a rhetorical device, not an argument. “Driven by ideology.” So is every position in this debate. Yours included. The whitepaper is clear: peer-to-peer electronic cash. Not peer-to-peer data storage. BIP-110 restores relay policy toward that standard.
