I don't really ubderstand your point, sorry. Why does it sound like a scam? Bitcoin cash isn't a brand new coin, it's a fork of bitcoin. Meaning you take the original bitcoin source code, modify it to your liking, make improvements, fix some stuff and release.
It doesn't create money out of thin air? Where are you getting that statement from?
You will have two separate blockchains. Hence if you now own BTC after split you will own BTC and BCC. Why does not BCC start with an empty blockchain?

We are dealing with an open source software. Everybody has a right to fork an open source software/project. Bitcoin Cash is no different. Today it is Bitcoin Cash and week later it may be something else.  Creating money out of thin air? This goes against fundamental principles of Bitcoin. I'm definitely keeping my hands off Bitcoin Cash no matter what.

Is the Bitcoin community going to jump up and down with distress every time someone decides to create a fork? Well if yes, we might not be doing anything else but panic, since while disregarding a technical skill anybody can create a new fork, hence new Bitcoin like crypto currency tomorrow!

Bitcoin Cash sounds like a scam on a pretext for an improvement. Does a bunch of programmers behind Bitcoin Cash know better than an entire community? 

Well if anything, Bitcoin Cash is nothing else just yet another altcoin from a myriad of upcoming Bitcoin like projects!
