The split argument is unethical.
It means that the people who want to leave must be *forced* to stay, for the benefit of those who do wish to stay.
You can't force people to do things (unless you're acting in self-defence), it's unethical.
(It's also, unsurprisingly, internally inconsistent. If you can force other people to do things, then it's just as ethical to force the split to occur. It simply becomes "I'm stronger than you are, so we're doing what I want, BTW, here are some reasons, but it doesn't matter if you agree, because *I* think them, and you're doing what I want.")
