I have always disagreed with your signature phill , sorry I have been wanting to confess but never had the chance  

I like the description you use, but not the way you structure it , if I had to use the same thing , i would call Blockchain a highway , and every coin including Bitcoin trucks needed to move transactions/value.

Now it's up to the user to chose how would they want to transfer their funds ,  do you want to use an armored truck guarded by a dozen security guards but apparently slow in it's nature form like Bitcoin , or send your money in an exposed motorcycle ignoring every aspect and focusing only on speed like BSV or any other "let's make huge blocks" coins ?

so you have to chose , do you want fast ? or secured ? you can't have both , but what if someone told you that , there might be a way to actually move that heavy armored truck a lot faster (LN/Segwit and whatever might come in the future).

I am not blindly taking sides here, I just don't understand why would anyone blindly ask for larger blocks when we have not utilized a fraction of other solutions, the other day a BSV supporter was bragging about a 500MB block (was most likely full of unnecessary information that has nothing to do with transacting value) , how many people do you know that have an internet bandwidth that can actually propagate a block that huge? man I pay a fortune for a 2mb connection where I live, and I have limited quota , running a Bitcoin full node costs me a lot with block size on disk =< 1MB , imagine it was 4MB or 64MB , let alone unlimited blocksize , I just can't figure out the amount of weed I need to smoke to get remotely close to accepting these brainless thoughts of going full blast on blocksize.
