Your sarcasm escaped me. Though I must admit your statement elicited some surprise, as you have indeed been otherwise consistent in your advancing the notion that the quadratic hashing time solution within The SegWit Omnibus Changeset could simply be stepped around by an attacker.

Why I am trying to tell you is that it doesn't matter. It's not a problem in any systemic sense. Market forces will conspire to orphan blocks that take an inordinate amount of time to verify. Regardless of which -- or even if any -- scaling solution be adopted.
