I never claimed overwhelming support for Classic by businesses. I merely pointed out that they do not care.
Which means that my point still stands. One month is a small update window and a it is possible that a good number of businesses stay on the wrong chain for some time.

Are you suggesting that they may change their minds? Different topic, but hey, possible :- Especially with folks like Luke Jr. threatening them with fresh PoW.
Until they are all running Classic, it is all just talk. They could change their mind anytime. Luke-Jr didn't threaten anyone, he just made a proposal. Anyone can make one.

The problem is not that some people are in power, the probems begin when there is no possibility to keep in check those in power. Core folks wants their power to be uncontested, calling a fork attempt irresponsible, whereas Classic folks should always welcome challenge to their implementation.
Some people believe that Classic will be more democratic because of 'consider.it'. Nice joke. Classic doesn't even have a proper development team, that is very irresponsible (singular example).
