Able to read just fine, thanks. SegWit will less than double the throughput.

Initially yes; it has the potential to go beyond that though.

It's a Blockstream product, not Bitcoin.

LN is not a Blockstream product and it is Bitcoin. Anyone who states otherwise is either ignorant or deluded. You might have mixed up LN with sidechains.

You're marketing it as a solution to tps, don't care what the initial thinking behind it was.

Who's marketing it as a 'solution' to tps? Neither Segwit nor a 2 MB block size are a solution of any kind when it comes to transaction capacity.

There is nothing contradictory. You can exceed all transactions globally (the accumulated credit card, bank transfers, paypal payments, cash transactions etc) but you can still be more inefficient than banks or visa.

I agree on the "we will never be able to process more than a centralized...", because, well.... p2p inefficiency.
