Can someone please explain to me how we have these Satoshi quotes and yet there is still any discussion / debate / disagreement on it?  

I don't understand how this can be viewed as anything other than what it is:  A complete deviation from the expected design of Bitcoin for the financial profit of a company that wants to take transactions off the main chain.  

And how the lack of urgency to scale is anything other than what it is:  A means to an end for ensuring the Lightening Network will make money.

This is an honest, genuine question.  Until I found the Satoshi quotes I was on the fence on this issue.  

Now im just like "what the actual fuck?"
