📝 Original message:Hi,

That's an excellent question, but note that answering such questions is not
the primary function of this mailing list. Places like Bitcoin Stack
Exchange or even IRC are probably better for that!

Specific to your question: in Taproot Q = P + hash(P||m)*G. The fact that P
is hashed together with the message, makes it a commitment. If you try to
change m to e.g. m2, then Q - hash(P||m2) will never result in P (unless
the hash function is broken).

The original Taproot thread can be found here:

Cheers,
Ruben
