It's not only a moot point, it looks like intentional FUD to distract from the main issue: Mt. Gox isn't filling withdrawal requests.

Mt. Gox could fix the issue themselves without a change to the protocol by tracking the entire transaction, not just the hash.

If they don't do this, then we must ask why not? Could it be that they've lost so much Bitcoin to double-withdraws that they can't fill new withdrawal requests?

Would Mt. Gox benefit from a steep decline in the price of Bitcoin, so they can fill the gap at a lower cost?

What's a logical explanation of their behavior?
