Especially if it's not even true. I'm fine with repeating a debate, as long as it's not a silly one. But the core developers of bitcoin as the developers at businesses built ontop of bitcoin, as a number of independent academics simply don't agree that it can't scale.

But yeah it's getting a little old. It's like someone posts a thread about some new solar invention, and the top comment is 'but the elephant in the room is that there is no global warming and it takes more energy to build a solar panel than it can ever generate' and we all sigh. This is a little less wrong than that, but the notion that bitcoin can't scale is simply false too, and and the topic itself is a lot more complex than 'it can' or 'it can't'.
