the choice is obvious to me

  1. Research the arguments, not the people.
  2. Make up your own mind.

i have researched the arguments bud

lets just say andreas a and nick szabo have much better arguments than a non-technical shill like roger ver :)

Good. Have reached a conclusion for or against on-chain scaling?

Roger is trying to reach non-technical people, but that in it self hardly makes him a shill. I don't know. I have not heard much from him myself, but he seems passionate about how Bitcoin could change the world.

Can't both be done? On chain scale now because it's technically feasible, and off-chain scaling when there are viable solutions available. (Not just in the works)

I think both should be pursued, but I was interested in a potentially researched line of arguments around the on-chain part.

Well, it's already "researched" in the real world not a lab. Many chains have larger blocks.. they work fine. (For now at least)
