Do you think there is a tradeoff in this case? If so, what is the best counterargument against making PACER records free? I think it's important to note, as the article does, that these records are already "public" (that's what the "P" stands for) what's at issue is whether you should be charged a fee to access them.

I recently saw an interesting criticism of this paper: That by the end stages of the disassembly of Mercury, the amount of heat generated would be so much as to melt the surface, calling into question whether the mass driver system could work at such a high rate.

What do you mean by "not enough to incentivize mining"? Mining works on a system where the fewer miners there are the larger a portion of the total transaction fee share each miner gets. Even if the there were no exchanges or people sending transactions, I'm sure there would be at least a few nerds who would mine on their desktop computers for shits and giggles.

A better criterion would be "when transaction fees aren't worth enough to incentivize enough mining to keep the network secure". But even that isn't a very clear concept because you can always just wait longer for more blocks to confirm.
