According to Foresight News, Vitalik Buterin posted on X that he proposed the concept of "one-sided capability trap" in his commentary on the article "Bitcoin Block Size War".
Vitalik believes that “this pattern exists in many different types of environments. We should better understand how to escape this trap.”
The "partial competence trap" describes a situation in which one party monopolizes all capable people and uses these people to promote a narrow and biased point of view; while the other party, although correctly recognizing the existence of a problem, is too focused on opposing this status quo and fails to develop its own technical capabilities to realize its own point of view.
