Lets say even if it didn't mention it in the White Paper, how is it a "dirty little trick" and how does that change much of anything?  There are quite a  lot of changes that have been made to bitcoin and bitcoins blockchain code that have gone in to effect ever since Satoshi left the project entirely.  Does that make all changes made a scam?  I think you're grasping at straws here and seemingly just trying to find any way to bash bitcoin.
