As a comp sci prof you have no idea what you are talking about when it comes to bitcoin. Here is one example:

Well, can you say more specifically what is wrong with that quote?

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.
