@perrymetzger@gfodor This is the sensible position. An exponential take off is highly speculative and one that somehow instantly conquers the physical world is a fantasy.
@onehappyfellow If you say so. I recently spent substantial time building a distributed wal that does not stop when the leader goes offline like etcd would.
@finn_hulse The difference is between a set of sometimes conflicting heuristics implicit in the data, vs. a formalism that attempts to resolve those conflicts unambiguously leading to absurdities. Arguably the conflicts are actually the meat of the endeavour and should be kept.
