These days, I see a bunch of people arguing loudly about "on-chain data," as if on-chain = absolute truth... Don't be silly, what you're seeing is actually "the version provided by the node/RPC/indexer you use." RPC goes down, rate limits, rolls back, or the indexer hasn't caught up with the block height, and your "real-time on-chain" data becomes "delayed broadcast." Not to mention that for the same transaction, different service providers may interpret it differently, and if the UI changes, you might think something big has happened.

I'm not regretting the outcome, but I regret trusting a single dashboard's numbers so much back then that I dared to draw conclusions; later, when reconciling, I realized I was arguing with a cache. Recently, the wave of privacy coins/mixing and compliance tearing also shows that many people talk about principles, but in reality, they don't even know who their data sources are... Anyway, I now prefer to check two sources, even if it’s slower, to avoid being led by the nose.
