Maybe one day human would also have a way to create gold out of water and air (they are all electrons and neutrons/protons anyway). From this point of view, a man-made limitation that is followed by all the participants can provide much better security than a nature limitation which might be broken by technology advancement

Do you really think that when it becomes possible to create gold out of water and thin air as cheap as dirt, gold will lose its appeal and shine? Regarding man imposed limits, they will stand only so long as all the participants are forced to follow them. Up till now laws of nature seem to have worked much better and more reliable, lol...

John Law would undoubtedly and unreservedly agree with me

The beauty of bitcoin is that it is a protocol that is followed by its participants voluntarily, not forced on anyone, so anyone who don't like reward halving would have total freedom to fork their bitcoin with unlimited supply and see how it works. As I said, this attempt has been tried even at the first reward halving, just search the forum post that made that fork and see for yourself how it went
