I might be a bit grumpy, but I'm getting really sick of these type of pages. There's no information, just a smart-arse "NO". It doesn't help anyone and it's so overdone I don't think it's funny anymore.

Thank you for the note, I missed the "original" link.
Surely the "No" is more than a bit snarky, but it is not like the paper in itself contain that much of meaningful "news" or "ground-breaking" considerations, the conclusion (like it seems to me is happening very often on similar papers, i.e. a not-conclusion) is:
"We conclude that depending on the application scenario, there are indeed valid use cases for each, permissionless and permissioned blockchains, and centralized databases that need to be determined carefully."
It is not a "No", but it is a "it depends" that is not providing much more than the "No".
It's not just a static bit of text, theres a decision tree you can traverse by answering some questions. They don't all lead to "NO" - my second attempt at random clicking took me to an answer like "probably"

Apparently, the original link led to a snarky "No", which isn't at all as flippant as what the paper states.
