| [comment]: <> (I wonder whether the next paragraph is more design related) |
There was a problem hiding this comment.
I don't think it is design-related. It is related to the fact that there is wiggle room in the assumptions in the arXiv paper that we explore. The point is that there are two relevant assumptions on the message system
- the one given in the paper (gossip)
- the one actually needed by the algorithm in the paper (the one that you describe below)
So the point is that instead of considering 1, we actually care about 2, because it is realistic.
