It is just not submitted to the Namecoind in the first place, so there's no test as to whether or not it's a valid share. It's kind of a pointless feature IMHO, but I had a couple people ask for it. Maybe some people just hate Namecoin?

Good. I would imagine that some people opting out of merged mining are specifically wanting to not support the Namecoin network. Honestly though, knowing the mining community I would expect most people opting out mistakenly believe that doing so will boost their Bitcoin income.

That's exactly it. Misunderstanding how it works. I thought that your miners would be split between the two coins, jumping from one to the other, or whatever. But if you say that people merge mining will get the same amount of BTC as those using pools that are only mining BTC, then I'll stick with the merged mining.

Seems a bit hocus pocus to me, but I'll believe you. Hell, it was the original NMC run, way back, that paid for all my equipment, therefore I am very glad to be involved in it again
