The real satoshi told you what happens to
minority forks ...
A second version would be a massive development and maintenance hassle for me. It's hard enough maintaining backward compatibility while upgrading the network without a second version locking things in. If the second version screwed up, the user experience would reflect badly on both, although it would at least reinforce to users the importance of staying with the official version. If someone was getting ready to fork a second version, I would have to air a lot of disclaimers about the risks of using a minority version. This is a design where the majority version wins if there's any disagreement, and that can be pretty ugly for the minority version and I'd rather not go into it, and I don't have to as long as there's only one version.
I know, most developers don't like their software forked, but I have real technical reasons in this case.

The real satoshi is talking about the possibility of future chain forks here (i.e. BCH and BSV etc.,)
No, the real satoshi is clearly NOT talking about the possibility of future chain forks in your quoted passage. The real satoshi is manifestly speaking to the topic of alternate client software implementations working on the
same blockchain.
What was it he said in
the same discussion immediately preceding? Oh yes:
I don't believe a second, compatible implementation of Bitcoin will ever be a good idea. So much of the design depends on all nodes getting exactly identical results in lockstep that a second implementation would be a menace to the network. The MIT license is compatible with all other licenses and commercial uses, so there is no need to rewrite it from a licensing standpoint.

Not so and your entirely missing the point that the real satoshi was making.
BSV is the menace to the network, both the forked chain and the bastardized software implementation. No distinction, BCH included.
BTC is the original Bitcoin implementation.
BSV (and BCH) are no longer compatible nor in lockstep with the original Bitcoin (BTC).
Craig Wright is NOT satoshi.No. In your quoted bit, Satoshi was
clearly speaking of an alternate client implementation working upon the same blockchain. There is simply no other way to interpret 'all nodes getting identical results in lockstep'. If you can't see that, your [sic] a special type of stupid. Or maybe just willfully, delusionally ignorant.
You don't understand the context you were not even around ... nor was Craig.
I was ...

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5.msg188#msg188Yet your telling me I'm supposedly
"a special type of stupid. Or maybe just willfully, delusionally ignorant.", when you think BSV is the 'original' Bitcoin.

I know who the real Satoshi Nakamoto is with 99.9% certainty. Satoshi Nakamoto is NOT Craig Wright.
Go on, prove me wrong! We are waiting and we will have the last laugh. Done here now.
