Oh, I understand perfectly.
You're rehashing the same old arguments. Yes, anyone with two neurons understands you have to trust a few extra equations.
If those hold, you can validate the supply, which as I said, is what Monero nodes do all day long.
It's not a great revelation bourne of a superior intellect that if the equations don't hold, the assumptions that rest on their validity will break. It's a redundant statement of fact.
