But it is still a lie to insinuate the signaling or non-mining full nodes are indicative of the economic majority. That is a social justice warrior lie.
Carlton Banks stated a clear technical fact. I expanded on it. While I obviously can't speak for Carlton Banks I personally definitely never said that SegWit nodes are a reflection of the economic majority -- neither explicitely nor implicitely.
However the market is. And I can't say for sure, of course, but I personally doubt that SegWit-booty-coin would fare well in the market. Even given plenty of room for market manipulation.
It’s also a lie to state that Core is the canonical Bitcoin.
As there is no central authority to say otherwise, and
pretty much everyone refers to the "Core blockchain" as Bitcoin,
it is the currently canonical Bitcoin blockchain.
That's what canonical means.Unless you're the Pope of Bitcoin you have no say in what constitutes the canonical Bitcoin blockchain.
