> "So your explanation for his reasons for putting in place the 1 MB limit are not consistent"

Actually the reason I stated is consistent with what satoshi said:

"In 2010, a block size limit of 1 MB was introduced into Bitcoin by Satoshi Nakamoto. He added it hidden in two commits[1] in secret, when challenged publicly he said it is a safety measure to prevent miners from creating large spam blocks." [1]

But not consistent with what he said after the limit was put in place (see the quotes I provided). The motivation I suggested is consistent with all of his actions and statements.
