>How did they decide that 0.6 tail emission is the correct number? Not 0.7, not 0.8 but 0.6?
There's no "correct number", it's arbitrary. The decision for this number was to make sure that when tail emission kicked in, monero's emission would be under gold's emission. So if there's an argument that gold's ~2% year emission is good enough to make it the soundest money on this planet, then it should be appropriate for Monero too, with the difference that this percentage on Monero goes lower every single block since the tail emission is a fixed number of 0.6 XMR per block.
