Exactly. Mecahnic revealed well all Tone's false claims and incoherence. Tone is just badly brainwashed and that is why he did not even touch on what BIP110 is doing and why and how.

My impressions exactly. Bitcoin is a long road. Even a lot of good people get lost along the way.

The propaganda is a strong tool and when it comes form previously trusted party like Core it does a lot of damage. Some people just trust blindly and do not assess the actions, what about looking for the effects ahead in time as you point out that Bitcoin is a long road 🤙
