no shills, i actually hate BU.Just worried and looking for concrete and substantiated feedback for my hypothesis.could you read it and point what is wrong?

The thing is, anyone with 51% of the hashpower can attack the network and kill it -- they don't BU or anything else, or anyone's consensus or permission.
Also bigger blocks or smaller blocks do not affect this one way or another.

but it's not feasible today to buy tons of petahash just to attack the network, to force a decision, if that the reason behind the attack

it's always better for them to mine with that hashrate than doing an attack, the only case where this can make sense is if bitcoin is tanking hard and there is no real profit anymore

as a desperate final move a 515% would make sense in that case

hashpower alone doesnt mean much. all it means is more dodgy blocks get rejected/orphaned and a group with such high hashpower is just wasting much more electric just to get rejected.

EG
imagine there was 2 pools and the node rule was 1mb
pool A with 500000000 exahash making a 1.000,250 block
and pool B with 4exahash making 0.999,750 block

pool A would lose, all that happens is that the orphan/reject stats would be higher

NODES have to have consensus and accept 1.000,250 block.
and even then thats just to try to keep the over 1mb going because the nodes are just in a orphan drama event.

the only way to make sure that 1.000,250 blocks are acceptable without drama without fuss and with the pools making the blocks able to spend their rewards, is to have node consensus of majority, merchant/services node acceptance and to completely ignore the minority to not care about their old rules.

...
now if dynamic implementations wanted to do this controversially they would have done it already over the last few years. they would have even set a date and announced it.

now if dynamic implementations wanted to do this controversially they would have gmaxwell up on the bilateral split offer, rather than laugh in his face at gmaxwells desire of dominant TIER centralised control by pushing anything not core away/to bottom tier.
