First, your figures are wrong and also fall out of the sky with no
justification. Can’t debunk something that is pure garbage.
Second, stating that a bloom filter is a "total loss of privacy" is equally
baseless and doesn’t need debunking.

I think you just made the case for completely rejecting this proposal based
on the fact that nobody will use it, BIP37 already exists.
Not sure if I agree with that, improvements are always useful and we should
be able to come up with replacements.
But arguing against a feature you don’t like, especiallyh one used by
millions every day, is a sad way to stiffle innovation, Greg.
