You continue to ignore the actual research.

The above directly demonstrates how block size results in significant propagation delay.
I ask you again: can you show me the research which demonstrates increasing blocksize won’t result in significant propagation delay?

Bitcoin Unlimited is successfully testing 1GB blocks: https://news.bitcoin.com/bitcoin-unlimited-reveals-gigablock...
As I already wrote what matters is propagation between miners which is already very fast, even according your own link, which examins propagation throughout the network as a whole not between miners specifically.

This news article doesn’t tell me anything other than if you have a few state of the art computers geographically close all connected to a state of the art internet connection they will maybe be capable of mining 1gb blocks.
If that’s your idea of research, best of luck to bcash.

Their strategy of stalling for the last couple of years is the least intelligent approach they could have taken.

Yes they do, that's the point of Bitcoin.

You mean if PoS works they can fork and use their altcoin.

The fact that you don't understand this leads me to believe you're either a Core shill or you have been seduced by their pretty words. The whitepaper makes all this clear.
