I do stand behind BIP 110 idea first.
Second try looking from Luke's perspective.
Nodes / Node runners are the Bitcoin network, miners are suppliers of valid blocks for that network and nodes verify if blocks are valid.
When BIP-110 activated, miners ignored it and their blocks are invalid, BIP-110 nodes reject them. So the BIP-110 network needs new miners. According to Luke that is the real Bitcoin network and I do think that BIP-110 was an improvement in terms of monetary properties and security.
Those are the rules of decentralized network.
In a centralized network, nodes don't matter and no one needs to run a node. Its all up to the miners.

Dude most nodes ignored bip110 so by your logic bip110 nodes are not bitcoin
“When BIP-110 activated, miners ignored it and their blocks are invalid”
That’s the problem. Right there. Ignoring a change being forced upon you is not an attack. Also, bowing to a tiny percentage who say “if you don’t adopt this you’re wrong” would not be decentralized at all.
Miners ignored it because it’s irrelevant. And most bitcoiners ignored it too.
