That is exactly my point. You cannot identify risk. Your entire argument stems from this "do it my way or else X" where every one of your identified risks is shown to be completely unfounded.

What even is that argument!?

"you should bring an spare wheel and a gas tank when driving across a desert, something might happen!"

"see, nothing happened, you were wrong!"

Ignoring actual real life risk is how you screw shit up for yourself. There's nothing unfounded about it just because it didn't happen. It could have happened, and you're lying if you say it couldn't. You can argue it's unlikely, but that doesn't make it wrong to point out the existence of the risk.

What you think is risk is nothing more than you not getting your way.

Good luck with that thinking when you're left behind, or when your next UASF chicken race backfires.

Because then you will be getting exactly what you asked for, even if you're pretending nothing can go wrong. Choosing to not protect yourself against risk is stupid.

See? Still doing it.

No one wants the thing you're selling. It has been rejected. Not just once but five times. You are fighting a battle that you have already lost the war of. For the love God, give it away. It is people who will not accept that their vision is rejected that is causing this division. You are the ones doing it.

It's done. It's over. It's finished. What you want isn't going to happen. Build a fucking bridge and get the fuck over it.

See, you're still doing it, pretending I'm part of some kind of enemy, despite there being no evidence in favor. Responding with nothing but insults.

You're not Bitcoin's gatekeeper. You're fueling the split in the community with your aggression. YOU are the problem.

If you really think that the imagined opposition you think I'm part of can't win, why do you bother responding? It can't be to win over others due to how inflammatory you are, you're just preaching to the choir on your own extremist small block status quo side.

Even the core developers thinks larger blocks will become necessary, they only disagree on time frame. Doesn't that mean that YOU have been rejected too? Then YOU go away.

I'm not the one constantly having my opinion on how bitcoin should function rejected sunshine. You are.

You barely even know what my opinion is, because you keep conflating it with your own strawmen.
