📝 Original message:ZmnSCPxj, OK, but you can put whatever you like in the different
standard output script you mention (my example below whether legacy or
segwit)

Luke, I am still confused or missing something, from your answer I
understand that everything is accepted, so if we take the past example
of bch coins wrongly sent to a segwit address, why was the recovery
solution where scriptsig included the matching segwit address/program
not a standard transaction?
