if you actually read my post upthread linking to pdf explaining that deflationary nature of a currency that is vulnerable to 51% attack will get attacked once the hashrate drops due to low fees and not enough adoption. this is exactly where monero is headed. i think it is better to be safe now than sorry later when the chain gets attacked.
i explained a reasonable threat to monero and not just a mere speculation. better have a bit more slow emission than death in 1 year.
