Location Addressing is fine in smaller or single systems. But when you're talking about large decentralised systems with no single point of control (_kind of the point_) things like independable variable integrity become quite important.

@prologic I get where you're coming from. But is it really that bad in practice? If you follow any link somewhere in the web, you also don't know if its contents has been changed in the meantime. Is that a problem? Almost never in my experience.
Granted, it's a nice property when one can tell that it was not messed with since the author referenced it.
Another thing: At the moment, anyone could claim that some feed contained a certain message which was then removed again by just creating the hash over the fake message in said feed and invented timestamp themselves. Nobody can ever verify that this was never the case in the first place and completely made up. So, our twt hashes have to be taken with a grain of salt.
@lyse indeed! There is no "central authority" acting as witness, and notary. The more I think of it... LOL.

@lyse I don't think this is true.
