As a comp sci prof you have no idea what you are talking about when it comes to bitcoin. Here is one example:

Quote from: JorgeStolfi on August 21, 2015, 01:21:08 AM
Some clever bitcoin hackers may be able to create transactions that are valid on only one chosen branch.  However, most transactions issued by typical users will be executed in both chains

Well, can you say more specifically what is wrong with that quote?

ANYONE can create a transaction that is valid only one chosen branch with any wallet! They don't need to be clever bitcoin hackers. There is not such thing as bitcoin hackers, unless they find a bug/way to cheat the consensus like that bug where someone was able to create billions of bitcoins in 2010 (https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Value_overflow_incident)
