Well this is just a theory, but there is nothing wrong with discussing it (I will not comment it though).
The block size debate is about taking over control. It's about either putting the trust into the hands of the Core developers or Gavin and Hearn. The question is
who do you trust?
Update: I was referring to lead development roles. I was not talking about the trust-less system that Bitcoin is.
At this point I'm pretty sure this runs even deeper than the NSA. Aliens are trying to take over Bitcoin! Yes, that's right. Illegal immigrants. Taking over Bitcoin. Shifty fuckers, I always knew we couldn't trust them...
Do you need a tin foil hat with that?
