 This design requires impacting the protocol’s liveness in order to make the timestamps more reliable.
 An alternate approach is to remove timestamps altogether from the block protocol.
 `BFTTime` is deterministic but may be arbitrarily inaccurate.
-This approach was not selected because a reliable source of time is quite useful for blockchain applications.
+However, having a reliable source of time is quite useful for blockchain applications.
+We therefore decided not to remove the timestamp. 
 Time is much more meaningful to humans than block height.
 Applications may wish for some transactions to occur on a certain day, on a regular period, or after some time following a different event.
 All of these require some meaningful representation of agreed upon time.
