I've been looking at past threads and I'm confused on what Satoshi's position was on certain issues.

November 2 2008 - Satoshi believes that eventually nodes will be run on server farms with specialized hardware.

December 9 2010 - Satoshi hints at merge mining ? Possibly to mitigate for small blocks?

December 10 2010 - Satoshi anticipates that the block size might get kept small to allow as many users and small devices as possible

In August Satoshi seems confident that block size may be increased with no regards to size, eventually allowing micropayments as storage and bandwidth capacity improve over the years. Then in December, he hints that block size might remain small to allow as many users as possible. Did he then change his opinion on storage/bandwidth improvements in the future? I'm not sure what to make of this.
