Back inadvertently makes the sensible block size argument

not everyone has to nor does validate everything. it just needs to be possible for people want to, to validate; and for a reasonable number to validate, in some mix of power users, prudent investors, node runners, wallets, payment processors, exchanges etc. https://twitter.com/adam3us/status/1777471016509284607

Other than the 'only mining nodes count' big blockers, this was the argument that was being made years ago - except he was on the other side of it, arguing that everybody needs to be able to run their own node (irrespective of whether they can afford to transact with it).

Just pointing it out because slippery narrative is the small blockers' game and when they pivot from a prior position, it needs to be widely known.
