Admitting that node count is irrelevant kills the biggest argument against increasing the blocksize

The number of nodes over a longer period of time is relevant. Node count as a metric used for 'debating' is irrelevant. You can't properly measure the actual number of nodes and the number can be faked. Your attempts at trolling won't work.

Exactly; Classic is already dead. However, their technical approach is actually among the worst proposed so far. People who are "contributing" (copy-paste code from Core) to Classic were not actively developing lately either.
