Alright, fair enough. Keep in mind though that this comment thread started with an assertion that Bitcoin didn't get it quite right, and Monero did, which is more of a big-picture analysis thing than merely "can I buy something with this". My responses have been in that vein.

That's fair. The Lightning network really is an interesting solution to the problem Bitcoin had, and I'm interested to find out if/when Monero will run into a similar problem.
