"Perfectly" scarce is a bit of a stretch. It is scarce by consensus, and yes that is a pretty strong convention. Perfect, maybe not. It's OK for people to have doubts. Consensus can be gamed. Especially if we are not careful. Indeed the chain could split due to conensus gaming. I am quite sure there are those that would like to see that happen. And it has happened before, almost fatally. We need to stay humble and avoid being complacent on these issues.
