Well sir,
I would say the largest client flag exodus from the mainline implementation in bitcoin’s history since and possibly exceeding the UASF ?
Is that the “evidence” you are demanding?

I see Core maybe lost 3k nodes since the sudden up-tick of Knots in 2025 but the number is also trivial to fake, especially on TOR. It's really hard to find out if 100 TOR nodes are actually distinct nodes or all the same. I don't know what to make of the much more modest up-tick in Knots numbers since a year prior. Was the conflict already brewing? Did somebody pump the Core numbers in order to opportunely let them drop at the right time? I'm looking at April 2024 to April 2025. Both implementations grew, Core by 3k or 20%. Knots grew 600% in that time! So clearly, something was afoot.
