I know xulescu addressed this as a misperception, but how can something that happened after the announced attack have contributed to the attack.
Afair, fluffypony did that during the 72 hour countdown, before the decision to attack had become final. I am not referring to the copy+paste of the feedback from the mathematicians, rather the prior exchange upthread.
I believe also Risto's proclamation of the likelihood occurred during the 72 hour countdown.
Hey I am not saying any body did anything out of their roles. This is a soap opera ya know. I'm included.
