Yes I linked to the tweet when I wrote the comment.
I paraphrased his babel in my comment for brevity.
> I think we can successfully make Zcash too traceable for criminals
a bit like:
"I think we can make this encryption algorithm too weak for criminals, but strong enough for everyone else"
> He's got enough crypto and pro-privacy cred to be worth a listen.
Not from what I understand.

Unfortunately you're not thinking about regulations, which Zcash has to think about every day.
Zcash is no more compatible with “regulations” than any other cryptocurrency
> Not from what I understand.
What is your understanding?

That'd be the trivial knee-jerk interpretation. Look up Zooko, his past work and background. See if you still think he doesn't know how "the laws of mathematics" work.
It's also why I said it'd be genuinely interesting to him elaborate on that statement.

That's literally not what Zooko said.
> I think we can successfully make Zcash too traceable for criminals like WannaCry, but still completely private & fungible.
At the very least it'd be interesting to see what exactly he meant by that. He's got enough crypto and pro-privacy cred to be worth a listen.
