You do present a valid flaw of a hypothetical one-time remotely possible transaction that may or may not exist.
He doesn't.

I wrote a post on my website to try to clear up the misunderstandings that people have and spread about Segregated Witness.

Even though the article is nice, I think that you're wasting your time with this thread. Initially, they were complaining that Segwit is complex and now they're making up scenarios in which it is supposed to be 'insecure'. I doubt that you're going to reach a point where they admit to being wrong.

While Segwit is complex and introduces many changes, it is still about the same number of lines of code as the Bitcoin Classic implementation of the 2 Mb hard fork because that implementation still needs additional changes to mitigate the problems with quadratic hashing.
This is false IMO.
