I respect the thesis and write up but i doubt the word fair should be in the statement. Instead of provably fair it should just be tagged provable because Once something is used for exploitation, the fact that it can be proven is insufficient to make said exploitation a fair act.
That is what I meant as well. Provably fair is "provable" is literally that thing we are talking about. I mean if you are getting scammed then it should be proven that way too, if it is fair then it should be proven that way too, there is really no middle ground. If you are scammed and you can't prove it, then it is not provably fair, or even if you win and you can't prove it then it is not provably fair. That is the biggest and greatest achievement of blockchain tech made for gambling world.
Imagine a system where nobody can scam anyone without letting it be fully obvious, it is not just that you can't be scammed, you can be but in other places you were already getting scammed, whereas in crypto gambling world you can't just get scammed and have no proof of scam that you may go to press or forums, here we do have that and if anyone ever tries to scam then it will be provable.
