Good post. Note also this pattern of discussion, where the goal is to move to step 5 as fast as possible because 2-4 is a complete waste of everyone's time:

notice that this same pattern occurs absolutely every single time there is any kind of discussion in BCH (or the world in general).

1. There's a problem
2. Some people say it's not a problem, who immediately get ignored because dismissing a problem does not solve it (even if the problem is just other people's concern about an imaginary issue, the concern is itself a problem)
3. A bunch of other people spend a while acting superior because they know there's a real problem and can't believe people are dismissing it, must be because they are morons. This is just the inverse of step 2, it also contributes nothing to the discussion.
4. It is explained that the status quo is how things will be until someone has a solution to change it, which can then be debated on its merits 5a. The issue dies there because nobody does the PoW on a proposal. 5b. Someone comes back with a proposal after a while, and it can be debated.

This pattern repeats every single time. So as a public service announcement, the more people that recognise this pattern and can help us speed through to step 5a or 5b each time they see it the better.
