You are either ill-informed and should educate yourself on the subject (blockchain != proof of work-based consensus) or willingly creating confusion by mixing up concepts.

Let's assume the first, shall we?

You're correct that I'm not an expert in the terminology used in this field. Surely I'm not the only one who hears "blockchain" and thinks it must be like Bitcoin and other proof of work crypto currencies?

Maybe the summary is saying something completely different, in which case the use of 'blockchain' within it can still concern me and any other readers who are similarly wrongly informed.
