Thank you for your reply and checking this with me!
The questions I pose are indeed directed to the community at large and not classifying / evaluating your specific case. I would hope that the broader discussing on this would take place first and create a framework to evaluate cases/claims like yours against - before we would do an individual assessment on any case.
I believe that failure to do so (as a community) would lead to a dangerous and undesired outcome for $HIVE (regardless of the individual case)
I am thankful that you bring this topic into discussion and I hope the community will seize the opportunity to zoom out on the bigger topic first.
