The system will have failed, but it will have failed because it exceeded stated limits.

The system didn't fail. Who can prove it failed?

You guys keep forgetting the point I made which is that Satoshi's design provides no mechanism to objectively distinguish failure. There is no such thing as faulty nodes in Satoshi's PoW. Even a double-spend attack can not be distinguished from a latency driven orphan w.r.t. to the miners' hashrate. The fact that the payer sent two signed txns is orthogonal to hashrate.

Come on guys turn on your brains now.
