There is alot more going on here than meets the eye. The 2:1 ratio you like to spout, which is actually closer to 1.5:1, is'nt that important right now, with the difference between the two formats being about 1 million discs. We also don't know the profitability of each.
If the BDA cannot get video 1.1 going, or if there are major issues with it, Warner will not be happy. you may not like them, but interactive features are VERY important to Warner.
If, the BDA cannot fix the production problems of BD-50s in a reasonable amount of time, all of the studios will notice. The subsidies won't last forever, and a 50% yield will end up being very expensive.
time will tell.
