By nailing it from the first time?

Isn't this precisely what Gavin wants to do? By committing Bitcoin today, to what he thinks the capabilities of tomorrow's computers will be?

Well no. You are trying to divert from the subject one again. Gavin is the pioneer that pushed development and evolution further. Every software has evolved this way. Every software pushed the hardware to new limits. Looking at every piece of software from inception up to today's state it's easily to see that the requirements of software were always bigger than current hardware until they reach an equilibrium. Didn't PC games pushed the video card business further? Didn't video processing pushed hardware further in terms of pure raw power and code optimization?

By your logic no software should evolve if the developers aren't pushing the current hardware requirements.

Even if the tomorrow's computers will not be able to handle it, it's not like we can't go back if the tomorrow computers will not be able to handle what is Gavin proposing and it's not like we will not have some kind of warnings ahead.

I would expect to see more constructive points from a Staff member instead of continuous opposing arguments and useless questions that bring nothing new to the table.
