you misunderstand
LN will be free ( or nearly free )
i'm saying there's a huge hidden cost to using LN, that cost is the time you'll need to get your head around the current state of your payment channel...
0.08$ fee or 30mins of thinking
ya ~100X more expensive...
hahahahahaha...
That's some pretty creative cost calculations and levity added to the equation... In any event, LN is quite a ways into the future anyhow. Just think about all the time each of us wastes in these various forums... (almost 65 days of my life for me, at the moment as i type).

And, I wonder if I should back off my earlier tentative assessment that you may have transitioned into:
A LITTLE BONKERS.

i'm nearly at 1 year. can you blame me for going bonkers?
