I dont mean to flame but I wont take those as real reasons, there is no problem with the way the coin works right now, fork and change the coin to fix the lack of miners/investors is a mistake because this is not a scrypt problem.
These are very good, preventative real reasons to address coming ASICs - not to fix the lack of miners.
It is VERY clear that scrypt is vulnerable to ASICs.
We could 'fix' the problems you are focusing on, and then be screwed by ASICs, so why not make that stitch in time and save nine?
