This refers to an optional resource, so not sure how to indicate this question is only for those that watched the video.

I think the optech link should go in the answers file otherwise it just becomes another thing to read beforehand.

Could put [optional] on it? and move the optech link to answers.md, yeah

We had a nice talk about bech32 and the extensive research to develop it at study group. I found it particularly interesting to discuss what kinds of errors we'd want to check for and detection vs correction. There was also mention about it still being "broken"/imperfect, i.e. this mutability issue despite how much work was done on it. I stumbled upon a summary about it in optech and thought it framed the issue nicely. I think it could be a stimulating discussion about design goals, updating requirements when new developments come along, etc.
