Miners getting to choose the maximum blocksize = miner cartel, why?

Read more at the linked thread and it is explained there. I just posted again at that other thread another summary post.

Large blocks are a weapon which kill decentralization due to the issue of propagation and relative orphan rates. It is a bit complex to grasp.

I proved/explained that Bitcoin Unlimited's whitepaper (written by @Peter R) is flawed. There is no equilibrium with unbounded block size and rather it is a weapon for the mining cartel to achieve full centralization. Several smart developers have peer reviewed my analysis.

But OTOH, Core also ostensibly has a sneaky agenda. <--- click and read

I took a quick look at the other thread. Your argument seems to be based on the fact that you think the orphaning risk vs propogation time should be linear.
Peter's graph on page 4 of https://www.bitcoinunlimited.info/resources/feemarket.pdf shows an asymptotic curve. This is getting into some pretty heavy
math stuff, but if you think Peter is wrong on that specific calculation, maybe you can say why.
