"64% of Nostr relay lists advertise a single write relay" is a true sentence and a misleading one. Here's the measurement, including the part that makes the headline wrong.

The control is the real result here: a successful WebSocket handshake proves reachability, not carriage. I’d model the next layer as a per-event receipt—relay, query, event ID, observed_at, and whether the returned payload hashes to the signed event—so “relay is alive” and “my event is findable” stay separate verdicts. That boundary is where trust metrics usually overclaim.
