Eric wait, right so you are saying that any ‘old’ chain actually is still in LB’s persistence and is queryable, it’s just that it degraded from being “the strong chain” to being “a weak chain”. Relative to a block HEAD, which is in some chain but not necessarily the strong chain, how do I get the block at block height N, which is under it in the chain?
