The 5-6 mining pools will stay on a conference call to insure BIP-110 doesn't have a chance. There won't be a game of chicken or a "red" or "blue" button.
Even if the first block after activation is BIP-110 eligible (unlikely with 1-2% of the hash) then they will just wait for the second block. Then next block is not BIP-110 eligible and BIP-110 forks off, then they just chill on the conference call for another hour until 6 more blocks are mined on their chain to be sure it's over then they hang up and go to bed.

right but 15000 nodes - while there can't be more than 15000 nodes that aren't running it. hell i'd throw my hat in if i was in a better financial situation too.
also what makes you so sure that people dropping taproot transactions isn't going to slow down spammers? of course it is going to slow it down. the miners won't block users who propagate non-taproot non-spam transactions, they got bills to pay.
no amount of astroturfing is going to change the outcome if the people are proactively rejecting the transactions and deferring accepting blocks that allows a non-spammy block to get mined in parallel.
the war will continue until the market decides and that's nothing to do with illogical arguments and propaganda campaigns coming from people connected with us and israeli and bankster spook ops.
