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?
I really wish Satoshi is back now. I think his opinion would end this discussion about XT vs Core once and for all.
I liked Satoshi's deistic approach before, but in times of crisis and when you need to chose democracy is not that good.
And the only thing I trust is Bitcoin Price - and this bullshit debate is taking its toll on it.
