Agent do you admit that it was obvious to others, immediately, that the 1mb would be near impossible to remove? If so do you admit Satoshi and Hal knew this, if not then can you quote me the link where satoshi added the cap.

I admit that others "thought" it "may" be impossible to remove the 1MB way into the future.
I am not aware that they "thought" it "would" be impossible.

Satoshi himself said that it could be technically removed, when the time arrived.
I do not think he was speaking purposefully with omission, meaning he knew Consensus-ly,
that it could not be removed. At this time in Bitcoin history, hardforks and Consensus was not understood fully.

The 1MB cap ("blocksize") debate only stems from the communities realization due to years of experimentation.
In theory, as Node numbers drop, hardfork consensus should become easier to perform,
and Satoshi assumed node count would go down in time.

So it would be massively contradictory that Satoshi (and Hal) intended this, when he says everything contrary.

...
The threshold (1MB CAP) can easily be changed in the future. We can decide to increase it when the time comes. It's a good idea to keep it lower as a circuit breaker and increase it as needed. If we hit the threshold (1MB CAP) now, it would almost certainly be some kind of flood (SPAM/ATTACK) and not actual use. Keeping the threshold (1MB CAP) lower would help limit the amount of wasted disk space in that event.

EMPHASIS MINE.

But remember, blocksize is only one form of TPS increase, there are second layers that can not be restricted as easily.
If Satoshi and Hal had true intention, they would have easily known that second layers prevent the "Alternative Options".

Thus, they may have know of Nash, and enjoyed the ideas, but didn't create Bitcoin with that intention, nor add the 1MB.
