What is the illogical fallacy? Bitcoin IS more than just money. That's just a fact. It's a database. I know you want it to be just for money, that would be great and I would agree that that would be great. But that's not the reality we live in. But it IS optimized to be used as money. It doesn't make any sense to do these "spam" things on Bitcoin. The only reason for it now is it's cheap. 1s/VB as soon as the chain fees go up, these things will all be priced out. The fee mechanism is the spam prevention on Bitcoin. Not filters.

The clue is in the white paper, first line. You can deny reality all you like, even deny that the position of core hasn't changed and try to use technical arguments, to say Bitcoin isn't what Satoshi created and named. Like many of the technical arguments, I agree fees are one way to stop spam, but not the only one Satoshi advocated- you probably also deny that too. As mentioned before, this has all been discussed before and if you can't agree on first principles, then there is no point in discussing further as you aren't capable to discuss this.
