The discussion raises a critical analysis of an idea presented regarding the calculation involving weight, fee, and size. It points out a significant concern regarding the assumption that setting the weight $fee-\lambda size$ to 0 would result in preserving monotonicity across different nodes. The observation made is that for some nodes, this weight calculation might result in a positive value, whereas for others, it could be negative. This variance suggests that the proposed method may not consistently maintain monotonicity, indicating a flaw or limitation in the approach's applicability or accuracy when applied universally across various scenarios. This critique underscores the complexity of dealing with weight calculations and the need for a more nuanced understanding or solution that can accommodate the differing impacts observed across nodes.
