Sure, there are other ways of doing this, the demos don't prove what I say, they only show that the theory works on a practical level. The science-paper however, does show how this mechanism can scale consistency.

Think about it this way: Our system simplifies running inter-system consistency and makes it much faster. Considering that Spanner exists, what proof would you accept to validate our claims?

I understand that reading all the material and putting them together isn't a small ask, but no new tech is easy to understand at first. Anyway, the material is there for anyone who cares to look and the system does what we claim it does.

I don't think anyone owes us their time to check our claims, but I don't think the fact that not lot of people will do this changes anything either.
