Thinking about how you would have acted is good. Most people just observed. You made me realize there's a hidden story behind this that nobody knows. There were some basic misundersandings from the segwit2x folks as simple as " 5 * 5 is less than 100 ". Simple second order logic like this actually needs to be explained. It was only after this, and they realized their assumptions were wrong did they almost immediately back down (and Roger swooped in for the kill). I might fish out those emails one day and send them to Johanthan. Its a good book, but missing some details, and unfortunately named.
