        Right, which is why we explicitly noted that in the post :) Would love to get a list of the specific patterns you think most important.pic.twitter.com/5l6kzactYm

        There is no list. There is only sound computer science analysis of vulnerability minimization vs. pseudoscientific white paper gibberish.

        Bitcoin is a lot more than computer science. Measuring _competition_ on as many axes as possible enables insight and reaction

        Decentralisation is competition. A vulnerability in one area can be countered in another, so you must include it in your threat model

        Attempting to measure any property is a noble goal. Much science has been advanced based on measurement refinement alone. It's a start.

        We're trying to restructure civilization, not collect butterflies. Measurements only matter if they bring results.

        Results without measurements are myth & faith. If there's progress, there's a measurement to go with it.

        Mathematics and proof via same are neither myth nor faith. Astrology, no matter how well the planets are measured, is.

        Agreed. Measurement is the start of science. @balajis was very careful about what conclusions can't be drawn from chosen measures.

        No. Conflating radically different things like developers and nodes as if they can be measured by the same unit is pathologically unsound.

        I disagree with your conclusion. What they are measuring is not important (in that case); how they measure it, though, is very important.
