I'm willing to admit that I am wrong and learn something. But just saying I'm wrong isn't going to do it. Like any kind of science, you have to show me that I am wrong.

Every node you’ve ever talked gets cached.
Fresh installs can bootstrap:
- BEP-34 DNS seeds (TXT records listing live router IPs).
- Magnet links with explicit peers.
- Local peer exchange / LAN multicast.
- Manual seed lists shipped in the app (same trick Bitcoin Core uses).
Removing all these vectors simultaneously would require blanket UDP filtering across the Internet, which is a lot harder than blocking a handful of Nostr HTTP relays.
If these were necessary, why aren't they mentioned in BEP0005 or hardcoded in Libtorrent?
Also, take mainline crate, and replace the routing table with this node; relay.pkarr.org:6981 see what happens.
Also, once you bootstrap, call to_bootstrap() to cash your table to disk for next sessions, and use that for bootstraping and see what happens.
Come on now.
