Re: aaaand here we go again

Imagine two mechanics own an autobody shop and there’s a car that needs an oil change.
One guy wants to do it the simple way: drain the old oil, and pour in the new oil.
The other mechanic says “no no, we can’t do it that way, we might spill some oil,
so we’re going to do a fancy engineering project that will cost 5000x as much.
It will involve dissassembling the car, building a separate garage, its going to
take 2 years, but that’s my plan.”  If the mechanics disagree, who’s fault is it?

Raising the blocksize is the obvious simple move (literally 1 line of code), and it was the Satoshi’s plan from the beginning.
Miners all favored it, but it was Core who blocked that with their influence, and then came out with segwit which is
literally 5000 times more complex (5000 lines of code).  

You decide who is at fault.

(Why?)
