where in the consensus mechanism to they get to decide?
Part of the time you guys are talking about the economic majority being important, then about the miners being the sole ones who decide. What's next? Make up your mind. Miners can't move without the industry and users; who are they going to sell their coins to?
It's not a false statement. I didn't say anything about "proof".
I have observed that many people here (even those who support the Core team) want 2MB to be implemented.
It is a false statement. Without proper data, your observation is pointless to anyone sensible. I could easily state the opposite:"I have observed that many people here don't want 2 MB implemented.". So who would be right in this case? Are we both right at the same time? You're making conclusions based on a small sample of mostly hand picked data.
