At first I assumed Space and Time was mainly about proving that blockchain data is accurate. But the more I looked, the more I noticed that the difficult part is not just checking the data. It is proving that the query itself was executed correctly. What held my attention was the Proof of SQL approach, where a query result comes with a cryptographic proof that can be checked without repeating the entire database operation. There is a quiet dependency here: the result still depends on how the query was defined and which data it was allowed to access. A valid proof can confirm correct execution, but it does not automatically settle whether the original question was the right one. That distinction becomes more relevant when institutions use external data to support financial or operational decisions. Verification and accountability are not quite the same thing. So maybe the question isn't whether a result can be proven, but who remains responsible for deciding what should be queried in the first place?
