I'm glad you asked

Being the person who actually posted a faux-patch increasing the block size limit, it is important to understand why I disagree with that now...  it was erroneously assuming that the block size was the whole-picture, and not a simple, lower layer solution in a bigger picture.

The block size is an intentionally limited economic resource, just like the 21,000,000-bitcoin limit.

Changing that vastly degrades the economics surrounding bitcoin, creating many negative incentives.
