yeah, that's exactly what I was referring to as "use full duplex" (use at least 2 frequencies, I agree this sounds like pretty solid critique (particularly with meshcore's network setup) and wouldn't make hardware dramatically more expensive) and "buy better hardware lol" (use 20+ frequencies and make it a completely different product at a MASSIVE price increase. why not just suggest wires then).

so there's one bit of probably-usable advice (slightly raise cost for significant benefits) and one that completely misses the point (charge at least 5-10x more for wildly different hardware, use hundreds of times more power, etc). the article spends several times more text on the latter.

flood routing and lack of end to end ack I also agree with, I sincerely doubt those are the best options and if user complaints are any sign then I think it's an existence proof that it doesn't scale, exactly as predicted. neither are part of that article, though it is in a linked also-large mastodon thread, which has basically just one constructive suggestion (8x the channels, though they don't think it'll work either) and many "this sucks" examples (flood fill, hop limit, etc. it amounts to "do better", not "X is better, learn from it").
