> I respectfully disagree. Human language and characteristics around distributed data stores in the real world have inherent ambiguity implicit in them that Jepsen in my view pretends isn't the case. We've been doing distributed systems for over 50 years now. There's nothing ambiguous in either the language Jepsen uses or the claims he is examining. The crypto shills chose to pretend the language is ambiguous and invent their own definitions on purpose. Including the ridiculous "nah, everyone understands that when we speak in present tense it means we mean some unspecified point in a nebulous future".
