> The bitcoin community believe that purchases should be fully caveat emptor, and as a result there's a high level of fraud and theft which is going to put off non-ideological adopters.
The site you've linked seems to be talking about thefts, similar to losing your credit card and someone running rampant with it, not purchase fraud.
In the case of credit cards, someone's still paying for it, it's just not you. There's no reason why this same system can't be applied to Bitcoin, without having to change anything in the protocols. It's just an extra intermediary in the middle who suffers the loss instead of you.
Got any sources that relate to purchases per your original?
