"Trick the miners"?
Oh you can't be serious. Do you believe
miners aren't capable of making a rational
decision whether they want to support
2MB blocks or not?
Miners do not really care much about it as long as the system is functioning. Trust me, I was in the business as well. Most of the people who were mining back in the GPU/ASIC days had very little knowledge about the exact workings of the protocol. I doubt that much has changed.

I don't need to; you're lying.
Using the phrase "power grab" is an acknowledgement that you think the core team have some kind of power, and that it might be taken away, and that the other guys *want* power.
It is nothing else but a power grab. The Core team technically has control over the main Bitcoin implementation (most used/developed right now). Classic is trying to take this place by a contentious HF. How is this not a "power grab"?
