I am not mixing between the two, I am saying that Nostr does mix between the two.
I actually think you agree with me, you even said that in Nostr looking up a key is always contextual.
My point has always been there is no reason to do this contextual lookups when we could have the no-context lookups.
The reason these two topics are related, is because the illusion that you can find the the data corresponding to any id you seen anywhere is why people don't understand why they really need Pkarr when Nostr exists.
It is really hard to explain to people why URLs that resolve without context matter, when they are not aware that things won't work in Nostr without context, because in their mind there is this vague assumption that Nostr solved global discovery in a decentralised way, so how hard would it be to find nip65 with of a key.
In fact, so far I think Mike Dilger is the only person who both understand why this highly contextual resolution scheme can't work for the generality and scale of the web, and who is also at ease to acknowledge that.
I think you are two focused on "following someone" and I am too focused on "Pubky urls should resolve with as little context as ICANN urls" ... and it is impossible to settle "what ought", only "what is".
