Having a different assessment of the risks, their likelihood, impact, identifying and examining other risks – largely unaddressed by the wider community , often because of how opaque and “non-memetic” they are – and how they may be managed is not the same thing as lack of self-awareness.

I think the Lido community and the DAO have put a lot of thought and effort into identifying, researching, analyzing, publicly acknowledging, discussing at length, and offering insights into how these (and other) risks might actually materialize (or not). Examples include:

- the self-limiting discussion [from a year ago](https://research.lido.fi/t/should-lido-on-ethereum-be-limited-to-some-fixed-of-stake/2225),
- my analysis [of general risks around LSPs and staking](https://hackmd.io/@Izzy-/EthereumStakingCodex) and how self-limiting actually pushes other very serious risks under the surface
- sacha’s recent [point by point analysis of danny’s criticisms](https://hackmd.io/@sacha/on-the-risks-of-lsd)
- pushing forward in depth analysis [and identification and measuring of on-chain censorship](https://research.lido.fi/t/rfp-ethereum-censorability-monitor/3330/3)
- countless conversations on twitter, at conferences, in person, etc.

I welcome engaging on the substance here vs broad strokes generalizations, so can we get to that instead?
