I rarely comment on Bitcoin these days, although I do still read things about it from time to time. I realise we're mostly in agreement, but on the technical arguments I'd like to briefly defend myself here - the arguments I made were not misleading or dishonest in any way. It's rather the post you link to which is.

No particularly special Bitcoin knowledge is required to figure out why, just careful study of that post with a critical and analytical mind (and not the mind of a "fan"). I wasted far too much of my life dealing with people Peter Todd had deliberately confused back in those years - it's a Sisyphean task that simply never ends if you let it - so I don't wish to write out a long rebuttal now, especially as I don't know you. But see if you can figure it out. Like I said, you don't need me to explain if you study things carefully.
