Your Excellency,

You don=E2=80=99t seem to understand= how Bitcoin currently works. A signature is a mathematical /probabilistical= proof that the person who signed (the output) is the same person who create= d the script (the input) that was paid to (i.e. not fraud). You cannot see t= hat he is that person, you can only do the math - giving yourself a reasonab= le assurance that it is not a fraud.

Taproot is not a proposed change to this design, so I=E2=80=99m no= t sure to what exactly you are objecting. The math continues to be the sole a= ssurance and visibility that the money was created and transferred in accord= ance with the agreed rules (consensus). There is no other way for anyone to =E2= =80=9Clook at=E2=80=9D potential fraud on the chain.

Thank you!

Actuall= y, that=E2=80=99s exactly what it does. A logical/mathematical requirement (= necessity) is also called a proof.
