Isn't "any [money] you receive [...] may later disappear" actually pretty common with credit card chargebacks?

This is such a silly argument. Chargebacks are for the protection of the consumer against a business. They're GREAT if you're a consumer. Why would it be in my benefit as a bitcoin user to have no recourse for fraudulent transactions?

Chargebacks usually have some form of review/dispute process as well. What's bit-coin's process for disputing the disappearance of my wallet's contents because of this fork?
