Questionable sections

The section copied below is a bit questionable (and has no citation):

"This is considered more robust than PoS (proof-of-stake), because in PoS, while a stake between two parties may be even, it does not take into account each party's total holdings. This means that incentives can be unbalanced. On the other hand, PoA only allows non-consecutive block approval from any one validator, meaning that the risk of serious damage is centralized to the authority node."

  • It can be more robust than PoS, but isn't necessarily so. This is true if the value of the identity and reputation at risk is considerably higher than the value of the stake under PoS.
  • "PoA only allows non-consecutive block approval from any one validator". This is true for Vechain, but isn't a fundamental requirement for PoA.
