Semantic quibbling aside, let's address what alani clearly meant:
Why would anyone want to force the blocksize limit expanding at pre-set dates. Now, give a sensible reply to what was intended.
It's hardly semantic, and I'm not at all sure what he meant.
Do you normally handle disclarity like that? By replying as if you knew exactly what was intended?
Many of the arguments against raising the cap only make any sense if understood as an argument against raising the block size.
Tautology alert.
