This "last response" had a very direct answer to your question, why do you 
think it was dodged?
I wrote; "To buy more time, get bigger blocks now." (quoted from parent-of-

But also said here;
http://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/bitcoin-dev/2015-August/010129.html
and here;

I have not made any arguments that fall within this section.

I'd like to suggest that number two is not described narrowly enough. This 
includes everything that we need, ever will need and want in the future...

2) Testing and architectural improvements related to nodes that get more 
transactions than can be handled for a considerable time.

This includes problems we don't know of yet, since we haven't run under 
these conditions before.

I quoted one such answer above, would be interested in knowing how you 
missed it.
Here is another one from 2 hours before that email;
 "All the banks, nasdaq, countries, businesses etc etc
 "now contemplating using Bitcoin itself will see this as a risk too big to
 "ignore and the 1Mb Bitcoin will loose 99% of its perceived value."

> Seems like a dead end.

After repeating some answers you said were missing, it would be nice to 
know where the connection drops.

Maybe you don't understand what people answer, if so, please ask to explain 
instead of saying people are dodging the question.  ;)
