5. Because of a block verification processing time vulnerability that increases quadratically with block size, increasing the block size is only possible AFTER SegWit is active and only for SegWit transactions.

False. Parallel validation routes around quadratic hash time issues, by naturally orphaning blocks that take an inordinate time to verify.
