the whole point of this exercise I've initiated has flown over your head. The point being to explore every con possible due to what's at stake. By my willing to explore every plausible as well as non plausible scenario despite your shilling along with the criticism of me you've been able to generate I've successfully pigeon holed you into your narrow minded world view of the only way SC's I think, and apparently you too, can possibly work. And that is with only 2 utility chains for faster tx and anonymity with 100% MM and NO speculation via other SC's.
You severely lack imagination. I think I've labeled the wrong simpleton simpleton.

you're so basic cypherdoc.
one only has to read the whole discussion to realize how far you've moved the goal posts since your original concerns. you may comfort yourself with your twists and turns to the argument that you have somehow the upper hand but it is tragically obvious to anyone following along you are just digging yourself a deeper hole.
the problem is not that I lack imagination, it is that you suffer from a terrible case of selective reading and convenient ignorance of valid objections to your desperate fearmongering.
the point of this exercise, as you say, was to identify risks that sidechains introduced that were never possible before. I would say you have spectacularly failed at this attempt.
There you go again. This was never about taking a set position and trying to defend that in a fixed goal post way. This discussion was meant to stimulate imaginative debate about a the possible cons of SC's. It's about going down one path and being cut off (oops that doesn't work) , going down another path and getting cut off again (wrong) all the while not giving up until everyone is satisfied. We are far from that point as i for one am far from satisfied.
