The biggest is misuse and misunderstanding of attestations is handling them as assertions. You should only be making an attestation to verify/confirm the validity of a claim, not make the claim. Any system that promotes the latter as an attestation is terribly flawed.

Why? An attestation is just a statement about a thing. You can have attestation that are claims about a thing, and then attestations that are statements about the validity of that claim.

An attestation is a witness proof to validate a statement about a thing i.e., claim or assertion. > You can have attestation that are claims about a thing No, you can't. Those are categorically assertions. This is a common error done by many attestation platforms

It sounds like you disagree on the definition of the term "attestation" rather than the underlying functionality of having a platform that allows you to make arbitrary statements about things

a platform that allows you to make arbitrary statements about things is an assertion platform, not an attestation platform. attestation are NOT arbitrary statements, so yeah, i disagree with the use of "attestation" for what's happens to be an assertion. attestations aren't a new concept, they are pre-cryptocurrency
