 Exactly - we don't have much data on this defensive measure and you can't predict how an attacker will react to being given a decoy wallet. I'm not a big fan of speculative security measures. 🤷🏻‍♂️ 
 In a perfect world, I’d agree with you.

But we don’t live in one. I mean take the entire defense industry for example. Many weapons, offensive or defensive, are speculative in nature: you don’t know how effective they are until they’re actually used in a war zone.
