You don't understand how to read papers.
A good author will state his assumptions. For instance my third
paragraph read:
Now in a purely inflation subsidy environment, where I don't care about
the other miners success, of course I should publish. However, if my
goals are to find *more* blocks than the other miners for whatever
reason, maybe because transaction fees matter or I'm trying to get
nLockTime'd announce/commit fee sacrifices, it gets more complicated.
Now that you understand the assumptions made, you can attack the paper
in one of two ways:
1) Show it's wrong.
2) Show its assumptions make it irrelevant.
You've done neither.
