That’s a logical fallacy - the is-ought fallacy. Just because something is possible doesn’t mean it ought to be permitted. A lock pick can open your door. That doesn’t obligate you to leave it unlocked.

There’s also a secondary Slippery Slope / False Dilemma buried in the closing: framing BIP-110 as “violence” and “reigning people in” (as if a standardness/relay policy is somehow coercive force rather than nodes choosing what they relay). It is literally the opposite if you actually run a node and understand how decentralized consensus works…

BIP-110 doesn’t prevent anyone from doing anything on-chain. It changes what honest nodes choose to forward. It’s returning bitcoin to a state from before - a decentralized monetary network that actively attempts to prevent chain bloat for security via node consensus.
