all i can see is them trying to downplay how they are reducing the FULL VALIDATING NODE count
All you can see is random distortions that confirm your world view.  Clue up: You know that your Bitcoin Classic now doesn't check any signatures at all on blocks where the miner-provided timestamp in the header is a day old?   If you're concerned about these details you should be rallying against "classic".

I gave you a long list of ways that segwit improves actual scalablity and all you can do is focus on skipping validation WHICH EVERY SINGLE EXISTING FULL NODE ALREADY SKIPS and on the _option_ of a possible new mode that still protects against inflation and the users own transactions which someone could use when their alternative is to NOT RUN A NODE AT ALL. And you suggest that it's reducing something-- but you ignore classic's gutting of validation.  Tisk tisk.
