Nodes can stop a hard fork and orphan miners doing stuff forbidden by the their rules, not force miners to mine stuff they don't want to mine
the fact is that Bitcoin maximalists and evangelists have convinced practically everyone that non-mining nodes contribute in securing the network. the onus is on experts and people like you to prove them wrong with facts and science.

Or what? Let BTC persist with their geocentric-quality science. They will kill themselves off. Better to stay focused on moving forward with the heliocentric-quality of BCH and not get weighed down in an asymmetric debate:https://twitter.com/ziobrando/status/289635060758507521 …

there’s no “or what”. there’s just the fact that Bitcoin maximalists & evangelists who write books and do videos/podcasts have spread the information that running full (non-mining) nodes contribute in securing the network. ergo it becomes de facto “truth” unless debunked.
