It seems you're confirming that my statement that the wording of this article suggests it has nothing to do with the public XRP is likely accurate. I do understand the necessity of privacy utilizing an ILP. How does ripple view these types of threads that use misleading news articles to pump the public chain?
I don't agree with your premise for the reasons that I explained. That FI's can make their payments off ledger and still have them be bridged by XRP when that's to their advantage is a plus, not a minus. If it's misleading not to mention this, it's only because it understates the value proposition. The only way it would be misleading is if anyone said or implied that these payments were being bridged by XRP today. If you see anyone doing that, I will loudly condemn it.
I'll just accept that you don't understand the purpose of this thread then.
