I asked you to please not go on and on with your nonsense, thus forcing me to refute it, thus impeding my more important work.
You are too technically inept to understand what was said.
What was communicated is that there is no economic incentive to attack P2Pool because you can withhold income from the pool, but you don't gain that withheld income for yourself. Thus no one is doing it now.
However, the attack doesn't cost much to drive the income from P2Pool for all the miners lower than they could get from a non-attacked pool. Thus it is a very cost effective way to drive miners from P2Pool to regular centralized pools if you have an incentive to do that.
If Bitcoin implemented oblivious shares then it would not be possible to do the same share withholding attack on regular centralized pools, but the attack would continue to work on decentralized pools such as P2Pool.
as smooth said, any attack vectors for exploiting p2pool are already in use.

How exactly am I "forcing" you to refute my nonsense? We both know you enjoy faffing around here and getting into nerd fights just like the rest of us.
The logic of antifragility holds regardless of an attack's cost or benefit. You are too economically illiterate to understand that.
Please do sic BCX on defenseless little p2pool. I double dog dare you to force it to evolve or die, because pressure makes diamonds. Too bad you can't.
