Can any linkies please explain to me why the data source that the oracles use to get their data isn't a weak link? Sergey seems to think that having a network of oracles will provide security and provide a consensus about the quality of the data. And having a staking mechanism will prevent sibyl attacks. But what if all the nodes are in accord about the data but they are all coherently wrong because they are all getting their data from the same flawed source? All it seems to be doing is kicking the can down the road wrt the oracle problem.
