There are many ways to skin a cat I guess.
But as you and I have discussed, there's a political cost to a full on confrontation too.
I'm sure you've heard a version of this saying at some point in time.
"He who enjoys tempting a thief is guilty of his own demise"
We currently have a system that is probably too tempting for thieves. There are people who probably say to themselves.
"Well, if I don't take advantage of this, I'm a dumbass"
I'd say in the name of being more effective. Any improvement we make to not make cheating too easy, is a good thing to do.
I'd go as far as to say, at this point, given the number of accounts who are ghost transacting. Keys are long gone, people are dead even, as we know.
If all that stake stopped moving, that along would move the reward pool assignation in others of magnitude above and beyond what any of us alone would achieve downvoting an abuser.
