It's strange that you count the resources spent in bytes, in "virtual bytes". When all over the world, resources spent are usually assessed in monetary terms.

Testnet can handle exactly the same bytes, with exactly the same hardware, but those coins are worthless. Does it mean that we should take the current price of Bitcoin in dollars, and base our scalability on that? Because guess what: 1 BTC is worth 1 BTC. If you want to measure it "in monetary terms", then you have to use a price, relative to altcoins, or to fiat currencies (for example USD), or to goods and services you can buy with that (for example food). Is this what you want? Do you want to measure for example fees in dollars to decide, if the price is too high or not?

Did I understand correctly that you are trying to refute that costs are measured in money? There is nothing much to comment on here.

"1 BTC is worth 1 BTC"
OK. Let's calculate in BTC. How many bitcoins do you currently need to rewrite the code? Let’s estimate it at 1000btc. I won't be much mistaken. Total bitcoins are ~19 million.

Spend 0.053% of system cost to scale the entire system by 10x. Is this a good scaling?
