I agree with your pushback on the repetitive csam argument. Though I do agree with them that it's a valid point, the bsv example shouldn't be dismissed. In the end my decision to be on Knots side is based on this: Core has demonstrated too much questionable behaviour. This while I also disagree with Core's changes itself (as I think was stated by you before; why not 160 bytes first and see what results this has). On top of that they completely ignored a fair chunk of their (ex) users' input. Even if we hypothetically assume they are correct on the technical side, their method of operation resulted in me never trusting the core brand again.
