SW, at it's theoretical maximum, will force you to transmit 4MB worth of data for only a 1.75MB maximum gain in tx's and associated fees.  how does that help you vs a simple blocksize increase to 4MB worth of pure tx's and fees?

This is a complete lie and misfabrication.

macbook-air please, if you are wang chun, do consult with the Core devs.

Segwit is the most responsible way to end this dead lock for now and will provide for ample time and headroom to optimize the propagation problems so that a 2MB hard fork may go through with absolute network consensus down the road.

There is still clear dissent amongst users about a contentious hard fork and while miners may agree it would create a bad precedent for you to force this on the community.  

Segwit is great, but clearly it has not ended the deadlock. 2MB now followed by core roadmap is an amicable compromise.

It has not because people have largely misunderstood it and promoted false information around it.

Creating urgency under the pretense of a "crisis" is NOT an amicable compromise, especially with the way the Core developers are being alineated from the process.

A soft fork rollout of segwit can happen much faster than a hard fork and provide immediate increase in the throughput provided major wallet providers get on board.

It is absolutely necessary that miners reconsider their position since clearly there has been a lack of communication as to the benefits of seg wit and its minimal downside vs. the socio-economic mess that would ensue following a precipitated hard fork.
