I'd like to engage with you in good faith here. I hope you don't block me as a filteroor.

If the majority of the non-financial data (I like that terminology, by the way) is using some kind of exploit (OP_FALSE OP_IF or baremultisig, for example) then why is it bad to simply fix the exploit? These were not intended features, and in some cases the potential for abuse was raised ages ago.

I really don't see what the problem is with making arbitrary data as expensive as possible. Encode what you want in pubkeys, I guess. Pay full price for it. No discount. No multisig optimization.

I just don't buy that we have to stick to the existing consensus rules just because they are the existing consensus rules. If something is being abused, why can't we change it?

Again, I hope you take this reply in good faith.
