But let's be on topic. Blockchains are NOT distributed systems. I haven't seen a post that tells me I'm wrong.
That's because you consider a system to be either distributed or not distributed, with nothing in between. I don't think
any system could be considered distributed by your criteria.
It wasn't "my criteria". It's about what Bitcoin/blockchain networks are. That each node in the network re-validates and re-processes everyone's transactions.
