"The purpose of on-chain governance is often misconstrued as an attempt to make protocol rules easier to change. Its strength actually resides in its ability to programmatically define which rules are immutable, and which can be changed under which conditions."

This slide by @LabosNomades sums up their view on smart contracts: - SCs represent money/value (sometimes a lot) - SCs are long-lived & unforgiving (can't easily update in case of bug without centralization) - infinite possible input values, so testing can't be exhaustive
