> You just completely pretended you didn’t see them! 
How could I pretend I didn't see the podcast quotes when I literally  made fun of you for using them as some kind of engineering fact?

> DIRECT quotes from notable developers

False, Samspon Mow is not a developer. 

>It’s WHY they’re paying them. 

Miners are getting paid for the same reason with or without CTV.

>Why does he say that private out of band payments to miners create centralization risk?

Because he hasn't thought it all the way through yet, clearly.

>Covenants and arbitrary code execution in systems like Liquid, etc are OFF chain, with CAT and CTV, the logic is ON chain 

CTV can absolutely create covenants with off-chain logic and payments via virtual UTXOs, study ark

It's clear you want to just listen to podcasters instead of actually learn the fundamentals of what's happening in the code. 

Best of luck.
