Not really. Miners can run code no "user" would even know about unless they looked/cared.

Oh my. Big blockers are back. You know about the block size war, right?

How will you know what you decide to run if you can't understand it first hand ? You'll potentially get targeted by psyops and it's probably why there is so many non-technical people that have an opinion on the matter at the moment. Being slow and thoughtful is a superpower when it comes to that level of engineering.

Most people will run Bitcoin Core's rule set because it's the most reputable implementation by far.

Basic critical thinking skills. Get info from different sources, compare, contrast, evaluate, try my best to understand. Humans have the capacity to reason about things without needing complete knowledge about every detail. Of course it's possible I could be led astray. This is always a risk. Blindly trusting the experts is also risky. All users should have strong opinions about changes to bitcoin. When someone tells me that my opinion isn't valid because I'm not a dev, that is a huge red flag. I have strong opinions about what software is running on my node. Devs need to accept this and sell me on upgrading, not dismiss it. Otherwise I will most certainly not be upgrading.
