Sounds like we vehemently agree. Orphaned blocks are indeed rare in Bitcoin, because they have ten-minute block times. GHOST only helps when block times are so short that you get lots of orphaned blocks.

And that's how Ethereum gets away with 15-second blocks.

But you haven't proven that 1 ETH 15 second block is equal or even in the same ballpark in security to a 10 minute BTC block.
