3. Super delegates are not a bloc and will not do anything en masse

They will end splitting about 50-50 for the two remaining candidates with each going the way of his or her political interests, assessments, affiliations, regional interests, friendships, etc.

These are DEMOCRATS for goodness sakes. The idea that they could unify on ANYTHING flies in the face of history. The phrase "herding cats" comes to mind. They are all going to go their own way.
