If you read The Block Size Wars you will realize that it was not as simple as telling one contingent to fuck off. There were good arguments and also some skullduggery on both sides for each position. Thankfully Segwit was implemented and the large blockers went their own way.

I did 😂, and I will re-read. I remember it certainly wasn’t that simple to tell the other to buzz off at the time, but what I’m driving at is, knowing what we know now, if there was a scenario by which big blockers could have went their own way and Bitcoin could have remained unchanged and fully functional.
