As a comp sci prof you have no idea what you are talking about when it comes to bitcoin. Here is one example:
Some clever bitcoin hackers may be able to create transactions that are valid on only one chosen branch. However, most transactions issued by typical users will be executed in both chains
Well, can you say more specifically what is wrong with that quote?
[The Blockstream devs] want to use the congestion to their advantage. You are really naive if you think that they don't understand stuff when it comes to bitcoin.
Yes, I know that they intend to use congestion to their advantage, and have explained their plans many times. That is one of the things that determined my view of them.
