So, your example of people saying the technology is "beyond reproach" is me saying "I don't think knee jerk dismissal is the right stance"? Your proportions seem off.

Do they?

Let's see how you and @jallen_dot_dev engaged with the criticisms I had in the form of a short list:

- "knee-jerk reaction"

- "it's like email vs. fax"

- "you disagree that distributed coordination is valuable"

Nope, my proportions are definitely not off. Even in the context of "litigation funding" any criticism is dismissed because blockchain. Even though it's on crypto-peddlers to prove that their "solutions" improve anything, not on the rest of the world to point out obvious flaws and problems.

But, no. If it's blockchain, it's immediately good, and perfect, and improves things. If you do't agree, it's a knee-jerk reaction of a person embracing fax against the glorious new email. Because anything blockchain is always revolutionary in all "it's just a metaphors".

I will not engage in this thread further.

Yes, your proportions are off, you're responding to uncertainty with absolutism. Neither of the people you have been discussing with in this thread are making an argument that blockchains are "immediately good". You are getting heated in a way that is out of step with the tenor of the responses to you. I would suggest considering whether your arguments would be more persuasive if they were presented more dispassionately.
