Satoshi understood the implications he didnt pass them off as disastrous, but rather natural evolution
All I see here is an appeal to authority. He's Satoshi, he invented Bitcoin, ergo he is right. This is not really the right way of doing things.
It is not even about Satoshi, it is about his vision, which many people still believe in, that is not an appeal to authority. At least not for the people that truly believe in this vision independently. His arguments stand by their own merit, not his authority, do not conflate the two.
