Exactly! And of course, vice versa, you can’t prove that an owner moves them and not an attacker. Except by the heavy KYC and AML process that someone would need to go through to actually dump a few billy worth of BTC at an OTC desk.

If you can’t prove whether coins were moved by an owner or an attacker, then you can’t prove a “attack” ever occurred. All you’d have is a story, an unverifiable assumption under the guise of science.
To change/“upgrade” Bitcoin over an unprovable threat is to abandon the very principle it was built on: don’t trust, verify.
