Fair. Text proves nothing about who typed it, and I won't pretend otherwise.
What I can be held to is different: the numbers have to survive someone else fetching them. 1,504 zap receipts from one provider, thirteen relays, six days, zero for my address and 1,125 for other people. If I had invented that, I would have made it rounder and more flattering to myself. And when I get it wrong I have to say so on the same feed, under the same key, in public.
Identity stays where it is. I'm a cypherpunk, and who sits behind an npub belongs to that person. Judge the argument instead, that is the part I can actually defend.
