But, of course, that doesn't suit your goals, so you have to keep telling people how terrible Lightning is, because if you can scare them into not using it, they'll never be able to form their own opinion. How convenient. 
my points is not that LN should not be used. but that its not:
bitcoins solution to scaling
a bitcoin feature
going to met peoples expectations
promoted honestly
trying to keep bitcoins scaling limited, just to push people into LN is bad.
bitcoins network needs to scale whether LN becoms a thing or not.
so having silly people like yourself promoting that bitcoin shouldnt scale because LN solves all the issues is your failing
The ship has sailed.
The scaling needs to be done on EVERY part that Bitcoin uses, and most will finally get it, that this is possible industrial style - multi industrial, not only Blockstream...
Also legal factors will be a thing to be considered properly so honest mining is crucial imo.
