Cool. Thanks for the reply. All makes sense with the context I now have.
Here’s link to the most detailed bootstrapping description I could find:

As far as misquoting you goes. I’m sorry if this happened however I wouldn’t have believed I was at the time. I remember saying you agreed however can’t remember at which point. If it was a genuine misquote then it must have been after I moved off the idea of compromising servers and having ISP’s catching traffic. As you will have seen until very recently I didn’t realise bootstrapping nodes were passing relays PK’s back to the client and therefore assumed that both proposals were close to equivalent. Again, my apologies.
