Isn't that part of the point about why bcash attackers are harping on this event?  They are not really harping on it because of whether it is effective or fair, but rather whether it shows that bcash is a kind of phoney that tries to act like it is similar to bitcoin in terms of the decentralized aspects, but when push comes to shove, bcash has a lot of ability to muster up whatever level of decision making that it needs to, even when it does not need to, because it does not even come close to the same ballpark as bitcoin when it comes to decentralization (even while holding itself out, pie in the sky as it even seems to them sometimes, as the "real" bitcoin's vision (pun not intended)).
