One of the quiet but real differences between Bitcoin Knots and Bitcoin Core culture-wise:

Knots optimizes for comprehension and restraint
Neither is “wrong,” but Knots tends to insist that if something is subtle, it must be explicitly documented. Especially when flags alter behavior without obvious surface effects.
