As long as you continue to insist that this is all about *API* and refuse to acknowledge that this is about *determinism* throughout the entire stack, then you’re simply never going to understand our motivations.

Orwell famously wrote, “Freedom is the freedom to say two plus two make four.”

dCBOR is the freedom to say, “2 and 2.0 are the same concept: two, and so have the same encoding: 0x02.”
