The soft fork does not break existing rules, but adds a new one, so it restricts even more the consensus. It is the hard fork the one that breaks them.

In these clases they explain the subject very well, especially scenarios regarding the mining support of different types of forks.
It's not a new rule, any other miner is free to build on a chain tip with non-empty blocks and the attacking miner is also building on non-empty blocks since he does not have 100% of the hash power.
The ruleset is not decided by the majority hash power holder. Not a soft fork.

Yep, it's simply a 51% attack.

Got it, my bad. Indeed it's an attack. I guess a fork would need many other conditions to be met.

The core failure they have is simply network effect and use of a hash function that total internet usage is so large that people can punk them with it, cheaply.
It's so elementary game theory that it just shows you how serious BSV guys are about their project. IE, not even an iota of seriousness.
If Calvin will give me a hundred grand I'll build him a better hash function that won't be so easy to attack. Just Kidding!
