This is simply nonsense/propaganda - increasing the block size (or reducing the block speed) simply doesn't scale and anyone trying to say it does is either purposely misleading you or doesn't understand just what would be involved in scaling (anything much more than say ten times what can be handled now).
Unfortunately @OP this issue has mostly become about politics rather than practical solutions to the Bitcoin network.
and you are simply stupid,
a Block only can contain a certain number of Transactions, increase the # of blocks in a given time frame and you increase your transaction capacity.
That is why BTC is so much in the shitter, you can't even understand the above comment would fix the issue.
The political response was yours, Mr BTC Religious Fanatic.
How in the world can you be a lead developer of anything and not understand simple math, are you on Drugs?
Go to rehab and get yourself together Ian.

You really want to attack one of the most knowledgeable users on this forum? CIYAM will run circles around you, in a battle to see who knows the most about Bitcoin. While you busy, also explain to us how you going to handle the risks inherit to increased Block sizes, while you on the roll.
SegWit & LN is not the ideal solution, but it is better than a simple block size upgrade.
