I completely get the sentiment, I’ve advocated for more conservatism for a long time, but CTV **is** the conservative approach and it **is** something explicit that we know the limits of.

I think the notion that we shouldn’t implement simple, very contained functions because we haven’t predicted everything that could be built with them yet is a misunderstanding of how and why we should be conservative.

Example: The justification to reject timelocks or multisig because no one had yet predicted the existence of lightning and how it would work would be silly.

It’s literally an impossibility to know what will be built with new tools, that’s the whole point, but how they are contained and HOW they work within the transaction is the concern. And CTV is essentially little more than a hash lock, something we understand in dozens of other contexts and with a very simple and very environment limited function.
