 There isn't a Luke standard and a Laser standard and then finally a #Bitcoin standard.

There is only 1 #Bitcoin network and the standard is based on the implicit/explicit contracts of that network, not Luke's fork.

 You have the right to join a pool or run a node that does what you want it to. 

He claims in the current core implementation, limiting the byte size can be bypassed, and is, by ordinals. Knots has a fix for this apparently, that follows the strict byte limit. This limit can be adjusted back to 80 if you want, by the way.

Along with several other fixes in Knots, changes and weaknesess he sees in core, he is self advocating for these changes to be merged to core.

if there is a lie, the lie is that reducing the byte size in a core implementation can be bypassed somehow.

Haven't seen the fix code. But nothing so far counters that specific claim.
