That's the point that I addressed right at the start

I specifically pointed it out that LN will likely kick in exactly when it will be most needed, i.e. as soon as we "start to feel the pressure". As I said, Litecoin, as a coin which has already implemented both SW and LN, cannot possibly run into the issues that Bitcoin is now confronted with, i.e. high fees and slow confirmation times. Payment channels will pop up just when it makes sense. It is an effective solution to the problem faced, and just because we don't need it yet (in Litecoin, obviously), it doesn't mean that it is not viable or applicable. Therefore, any claims that any coin will inevitably have the same issues as Bitcoin (if it rises as high) are unfounded and invalid
