when an inestimable condition for Byzantine fault tolerance is COMBINED with inability to observe faults consistently among all observers, then no state is trustworthy

Your first point is irrelevant because that is the natural state for any byzantine system that we are concerned with. The second point is just plain incorrect, because a byzantine fault is a fork in bitcoin, and all observers can see the fork.
