A million nodes saying a transaction is invalid does nothing to enforce that=
 knowledge.

An economic node is a person who refuses to accept invalid money. A node onl=
y informs this decision, it cannot enforce it. That=E2=80=99s up to people.

And clearly if one is not actually accepting bitcoin for anything at the tim=
e, he is not enforcing anything.

The idea of a non-economic node is well established, nothing new here.
