TLDR; somebody is deliberately throwing a ton of hashpower at BCC every time the difficulty is about to adjust down. I wonder who would do that...
However:

They have a good point - BTC doesn't have a smart(er) diff adjustment, while BCC does. My understanding is that the BTC difficulty is about to rise for the next 2016 blocks (and will remain higher for a minimum 2 weeks).
If BCC mining hashpower increases (making mining BCC more cost-effective), and BTC mining hashpower starts to fall off, the BTC chain could get stuck in HELL for 3+ months, with slow-ass confirmations and useless full blocks. Imagine if BTC miners only mine 2 blocks per day!
2 blocks/day for BTC would be exactly the kind of failure mode which would rally support for an uncontroversial hard fork to either new difficulty adjustment algo or new PoW.
But that's not going to happen because the alternative is to use the shoddy Bcash chain, which is so appallingly defective in design that it can be attacked by merely mining it at 'sensitive' times.
Let the scope of Garzik's architectural failure sink in for a moment; savor the boundless incompetence of a hastily implemented rage-forked shitcoin design that by application of additional mining power is actually *endangered* rather than additively secured.
Game of Thrones must work very hard to provide us with appropriately epic graphics/memes for the upcoming Bcash Officially #REKT thread...
