This is a technical nit, but the reason is that <data> is limited to 520 bytes (and I believe, 80 bytes by standardness in Taproot), so if you are pushing a ton of data and need multiple pushes, it's more efficient to use FALSE IF ... ENDIF since you avoid the repeated DROPs. -- Andrew Poelstra Director of Research, Blockstream Email: apoelstra at wpsoftware.net Web: https://www.wpsoftware.net/andrew The sun is always shining in space -Justin Lewis-Webster
