Is "much smaller" infrastructure on a different dimension than the "hardest part" of the problem? If so, what dimensions are those?
If not, how can the trust/agreement part be both "much smaller" and also the "hardest", especially given that it requires human inputs, especially human driven systems for routinely validating the process (AKA audits), and adjudicating inevitable claims of breaches of the agreement (AKA the courts).

It's the hardest part compared to the rest of the blockchain solution. The "easy" onchain-only part replaces a vast amount of infrastructure that would exist in an insurance company.
