  1. Tumblr users will systematically migrate to WordPress.

Amend that to "remaining Tumblr users" and, "sure, maybe".

That said, if you were someone looking for a WordPress style experience, you were previously already using WordPress, not Tumblr. Tumblr really excelled at "stream of consciousness" type of content. It filled a nice spot between FaceBook-style sites and Twitter-style sites without forcing people into the straightjacket that is Wordpress (and similar CMSes).
