Very insightful article, for example, I completely agree with the ceteris paribus definition of scalability " Scalability is not just about increasing throughput at all costs and instead it should be defined as the following: Increasing the transaction throughput while still adhering to the same set of compute, bandwidth and storage requirements to run a fully validating node." The scalability improvement needs to be a Pareto improvement. Or, in the case that Pareto improvement is not possible, we at least must document the opportunity cost of improving scalability, i.e. the trade-off between affordability and verifiability. What is the verifiability that we sacrifice in order to improve one unit of affordability?
