Ethereum co-founder just dropped his take on the recent consensus drama. He's basically cool with the network occasionally missing finality—as long as wrong blocks don't get locked in. This came up after that Prysm client bug incident. His stance? Temporary hiccups in finalization aren't dealbreakers for the protocol's security model, which is kinda reassuring given how critical consensus layer stability is for the ecosystem.

NGL, this view is a bit bold, but it's logically sound... As long as no bad tokens are locked, it's okay.

Let me tell you, talking about occasional lag issues is easy, but when something really happens, you still have to take the blame. The bug in Prysm already shows us something; if you ask me, we still need to stay vigilant.

NGL, there's a bit of a problem with this logic... For now, as long as finality isn't missed and the wrong block isn't locked, it's okay? Feels like you're making excuses for a bug.

Speaking of which, this guy's attitude is quite Zen-like—just don't lock the bad blocks? Hmm, feels a bit like gambling.

Another wave of "not a big problem" arguments? That's true, but what I care about most is—how long can this last? Based on historical data, whenever the consensus layer experiences this kind of minor friction, bigger waves usually follow. Quantitatively, the market's pricing of finality risk is still far from enough. The opportunity for T-making might be coming.

ngl finality this thing is a bit hard to hold on to, occasional misses happen, as long as the bad blocks aren't locked... this logic always sounds like it's making excuses for bugs to me

Speaking of which, this co-founder's attitude is quite pragmatic. Missing finality isn't a big deal; the key is to prevent malicious blocks from getting on the chain—I'm just curious, how serious is this Prysm bug this time?

NGL finality hiccups as long as they don't lock the bad blocks, I can accept this logic... but the real question is where the next bug will appear, right?

Basically, it's no big deal if there are bugs, as long as it's not locked? I can't quite buy into that logic...
