Well, you have been in this space as a serious contributors for way longer, maybe I'll evolve to that direction too.
Think out loud, I agree that decentralized consensus and it's mechanics are the genius bits that tie everything together.
I'm interacting to a lot of people in two contexts. First, with engineering and cs students at the University. Second, with devs attending the educational program we run in Brazil.
In both contexts, I feel all of them can't grasp a conceptual view of consensus and how it influences the various parts of the protocol. My hypothesis is that they don't understand that the transactions establish a language in which we talk about transfer of ownership.
Personal evidence (from this small universe of interactions) is that they keep using analogies and metaphors to talk about consensus, even when called to talk about it terms of the transactions (which are the fundamental messages we are propagating and validating).
Thanks for sharing your view (and please do more) in this discussion and feel free to comment, disagree and provoke in the repo of the project. Developing a university course in the open doesn't seem common, I wanted to experiment with that too.
