What was the main reason for choosing FFG in the end? Is it what you alluded to at the end - despite the better theoretical properties of CBC, FFG was the easier implementation?

Do you believe there is any theoretical objective consensus or everything is just relatively subjective? (referring to the example you gave about trust assumptions to learn about consensus even in PoW systems or upgrades)
