The biggest disconnect is between two goals: modern soft-fork
activation's "Don't (needlessly) lose hashpower to un-upgraded
miners"; and UASF's must-signal strategy to prevent inaction.

This question dives to the heart of Bitcoin's far-out future.
Of two important principles, which principle is more important:
- to allow everyone (even miners) to operate on the contract they
accepted when entering the system; or
- to protect against protocol sclerosis for the project as a whole?
Do miners have a higher obligation to evaluate upgrades than economic
nodes implementing cold storage and infrequent spends? If they do,
then so far it has been implicit. LOT=true would make that obligation
explicit.
