    Based on community feedback we are adding the payment_base as an extra layer of security and prevent mathematically possible contract forgery, with that being said it worth mentioning that this scenario could be very hard due to the fact that this BIP uses BIP32 derivation mechanism which uses hmac-sha512 and the fingerprint of pubkey - chain code.
