And what does that have to do with his "ability" to delay the founding of a new block?

He'll at least get his confirmations if the next block's sat/vB goes above 6sat/vB.

You can raise the fee if it's Replaceable-By-Fee (RBF) or use Child-Pays-For-Parent (CPFP)

Oh, I know that. It was just the 3rd of 4th time it happened to me recently. The next block just came in at the 48 minute mark.
Not worth bumping the fee, I am just opening a lightning channel

I'm well aware of that 48-59 minute mark when blocks get a confirmation.
Mostly I saw either a few blocks (mostly 3-5) get confirmed within the 20-minute mark a few of those blocks gets confirmed within 10 minute mark.

I have never used Lightning channel so i can't comment on that.
