The proof-of-work also solves the problem of determining representation in majority decision
making. If the majority were based on one-IP-address-one-vote, it could be subverted by anyone
able to allocate many IPs. Proof-of-work is essentially one-CPU-one-vote. The majority
decision is represented by the longest chain, which has the greatest proof-of-work effort invested
in it.

Thank you for proving my point. The longest chain told incompatible clients to gtfo and they did. It's almost as though it does exactly what it says on the tin.
thats talking about if nodes ACTIVATED differing rules.. (dishonest nodes) that dont wait for consensus
try to do some research

Any needed rules and incentives can be enforced with this consensus mechanism
Yes. A rule was enforced with the consensus mechanism to disconnect nodes flagging bit 6 and bit 8. It literally says right there in the whitepaper that new rules can be enforced and that's precisely what happened. Now that you've literally just explained it to yourself, does it make sense now?
I swear if Inigo Montoya were here, he'd tell you that he doesn't think those words mean what you think they mean. And he'd be right.
thats talking consensus.. YOUR talking about enforcing rules by bypassing consensus by controversially disconnecting nodes before HONEST MAJORITY
now...
show me in the white paper where it says the network should be run by one team of devs code where everyone has to be sheep to that one trusted party

First you'd have to convince me that's what we currently have. I can't use written documents to confirm or deny things that only exist in your imagination. You should try speaking to a therapist.
your own flip flop statements and showing how you love core and saying how core has majority
node count websites
and by the way. the minority of diverse nodes are not part of the main relay network. they are ringfensed as 'downstream' 'filtered' nodes as a layer below the main relay network.. should you want to do some research devs will tell you this. they even made those buzzwords and even pretty pictures to show its true and they also went as far as making a guide to say that those not upgrading to cores new rules will be set as a lower tier than the fullnode relay network.
try to do some research. its been months but your still stuck at the same echo excuses and fud of previous myths which even the devs were happy to admit were myths.
