Thanks! I tried as much as I could to keep technical details to a bare minimum in this post, so that I could keep the focus on the benefits of a 2nd layer apps approach at the highest level possible.
My next post, which will go deeper into a technical examination of why 2nd level apps are just as decentralized (and therefore trustless) as smart contracts, will probably be more of a nerdfest, however :-)
Sometimes you have to.
