I don't "think" this, it's an observable fact.

The bitcoin network gets attacked. It gets attacked by people like Coinwallet.eu, for instance, who broadcast hundreds of thousands of transactions to the network all at once, then pretending they are being helpful by means of providing the bitcoin network with an independent "stress test".

But of course, that's just the market expressing it's will, no? The anti-spam transaction measures that the Bitcoin dev team (XT has it's own "solution") have implemented for the 0.12 release in 2016 should just be abandoned in favour of letting bad actors dictate the price of transactions, yes?
