"LYAH is full of incorrect definitions and broken analogies."

Well it's fine for beginners, because beginners want easy explanations and many examples to start with, instead of very precise definitions which requires a precise math vocabulary.

Okay but i expect to wait 5 min on avg. so due to the paradoxon it is 10 min not 20 min

Hmm if this is similar to the hitchhiker’s paradoxon, then one would expect to wait 5 min for the next block by intuition, which is wrong and we have to wait 10 minutes. But i do not get why the intuition should be wrong by a factor of 4x (20 mins) instead by a factor of 2x (10 mins).

It's not a question of wether something might break, it's a question of when will it break and how long a new introduced bug might be undetcted, that could have easily detected by some tests? Bugs always happen in projects, if someone says otherwise, he either proved his program to be correct (e.g. in COQ) or is wrong (and sometimes both :).

Well I would use it, but I wouldn't contribute, because I write all my code in a test driven programming way. AFAIK Chuck Norris writes the code first, never the test.
