A forking mess (is that a Silver Fork?)

At present, the only good I'm tempted to see from this Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash mess is educational. It forces the 'Average Bitcoin Joe' to read and educate him or herself on what the hell is going on. Very interesting indeed. But, I am not a fan. It places fear in the markets (me included) and does little to interest the general public. However, I want to offer this.... This may be exactly the event that 'proves' the value store of bitcoin. Afterall, if it were to fall, wouldn't it have to fail from within? If Bitcoin, 'The Bitcoin', skates through the next week and is able to shake this forking mess off, it may be just what precipitates the crowning of the network and accelerates the ecosystem into the next level of world awareness and adoption.
