This is such a dumb/painful argument to see people bicker over.

> The fairest and most consistent responsibility with the decentralized nature of Bitcoin is for the legal responsibility for the data embedded in an OP_RETURN to fall on the signer of the transaction.

Simple. Reasonable. Fair.

This update already had people divided, and now Szabo’s input adds even more weight to the debate. It feels like a pivotal moment for Bitcoin’s direction.

While I can of course understand the concerns being expressed by those that are against the update, what you said here seems entirely logical to me.
