Regarding the true thoughts on project Oracle oracles: I want to use a scenario to explain—if you are an analyst on a derivatives trading team, monitoring a surge in liquidation data at 2 a.m. and needing to explain what happened to angry users, the truly important questions will surface at that moment.
It's not about whether the "data source is sufficiently decentralized," nor about "how many nodes are connected" or "how often it updates." These may look impressive in normal times. But when extreme market conditions hit and users suffer real losses, these indicators start to seem a bit hollow.
The core difference boils down to two words: evidence. Do you have genuine, traceable transaction records and data links, or just a set of claims and promises? When the market demands accountability, whether the oracle can produce a complete proof chain explaining "how this price was derived" determines its credibility in extreme moments.
Technical parameters can be deceptive, but transparent data provenance and verifiability will not.

At 2 a.m., when I saw the liquidation data, all the talk about decentralization and node counts was nonsense. Only a complete proof chain is the real deal.

The liquidation report at 2 a.m. is the most honest audit, and on-paper decentralization has to step aside.

I understand that scene at 2 a.m. so well. It's always the oracle taking the blame, and users lose everything they invested😅

The moment at 2 a.m. is the true test; all the previous parameters were just illusions.
