I wrote an analogy-summary on how the blocksize/hardfork debate has progressed

We're gonna hit that iceberg.

Don't worry, it's a few miles away!

No seriously, we're gonna hit that iceberg, steer away now.

What's your problem? We can steer away 100 yards before we hit it anyway! You mad bro?

No dude that's not how a giant container ship works. Steer the fuck away from that iceberg.

Besides what's the big deal if we hit it? You know we can just patch it right up and steer at our leisure, right?

I told you that's not how a ship works.

You know if you initiate a controversial steering right now, we're gonna have a big fight on board, and some people will get thrown overboard? Do you want that?

We have fucking guardrails on this ship for a reason. I don't think people are gonna straight out stab each other over this.

Oh no, I'm totally gonna stab you over this. I'll tell everyone it's okay to stab you, the ship be damned.

What the fuck dude?

Besides, you're gonna delay this helicopter-a-ship technology that will lift the ship right out from the water and go over that iceberg! If we steer away from it now nobody will use or develop it anymore. Also we avoid the fight!

That sounds great, we're two miles away though, where's the machine, can I see it?

Nah, you just have to take my words for it. Do you want me to stab you or do you not?

Fuck this shit, I'm steering it.

-Brawl ensues.-
