Wow, I had no idea that could happen.. I'll have to look more into it. Thank you, this is very interesting!
I don't think this would be any sort of threat to the network, though, as Bitcoin works because of the self interest of its participants, not despite of it. As CSW said, Bitcoin uses greed for good.
I'm not a fan of CSW due to his lies, other mess ups in the past and constant humble brags, but this particular claim is in a sense correct, even as he tends to make more confusing claims in almost the same breath.
It should also be understood that long before, some futures and stabilizing updates will most likely be established just to make sure that it doesn't happen in a still very edge case scenario.
