a block is like a bus though and transactions are the passengers

breaking the routes by having more buses per 10mins is not a economic best plan. as it affects many things in the ecosystem. (rewards, blocks per difficulty, halving cycles)

however buses with more capacity to let more passenger in is scaling bitcoin

..
but gmax went full on talk about a court system where he is the judge and he just wants to give the appearance that the witnesses and attendees and jury get a say in a judgement

the blockchain is just data.. a passenger manifest list of who bought tickets and went on a 10minute ride and reached their destination

a blockchain is not a court
if we were to use court terminology the blockchain is the transcript of proceedings.

however the protocol. would be the bus brand company deciding route and bus capacity and journey times and also setting fees

or in court terminology.. the protocol is the judge and clerks.
 the jury just relay their opinion on valid or reject. but ultimately the judge gets to agree or overrule and change the sentence or apply his own sentance without a jury

2009-2014 was a "jury or thy peers"
2015-2016 was a "judge and jury"
2017+ bench judge trials, with witnesses and reporters
