Complete lack of understanding on how bitcoin works.  Any splits will be resolved quickly due to the incentive of miners to agree. Bitcoin is designed to do this.

we cant really be sure of that. A disputed fork never occurred before, even in other alt coins. We could be in trouble by holding assumptions.

Exactly.. Regardless whether Bitcoin XT will get enough nodes or miners to fork, or not, is not very important. And sure, Bitcoin will be able to handle this, technically.

What IS important is the very bad influence this all has on the market and trust in Bitcoin by the general audience. Lots of (unnecessary) confusion, panic, harm to Bitcoin's reputation, stalling it's acceptance and growth.
