I remember Luke being very early to understand the unintended network split…and to propose the new and unexpectedly hard forking “rule” be rejected. I like Luke a lot. He’s not great at expressing himself but if you understand what he’s really saying, he’s rarely “wrong.”
Luke is Luke. We disagree on a vast array of things. However, his knowledge of, experience with, and contributions to the Bitcoin software ecosystem are equally vast, and in the end, that's all that matters.
