On-chain, I now hardly believe in those "coincidental transfers."

First, break down the path:
Is it the same set of addresses repeatedly acting as intermediaries?
Is there a concentrated authorization within the same period?
Is it from the same source of funds splitting out and then converging again?
Many times, it looks like two unrelated people, but in reality, it's one person using different aliases to go in circles, while also giving themselves broad permissions...
When I see "approve," I get itchy and want to click to see the limit and target contract.

Recently, I also enjoyed watching Layer2 argue over TPS, fees, and subsidies.
Honestly, you can run as fast as you want; just don't blur the permission boundaries.
Otherwise, the more subsidies there are, the more it looks like baiting a fishing pond.

I'm not regretting the outcome, but rather that I didn't bother to trace that "coincidence" two more steps before casually trusting it.
Anyway, in the future, I'd rather spend ten extra minutes checking the path than rely on habitual trust to get by.
