That is factually incorrect. It is absolutely not the same. The introduction of v30+ running along-side nodes running pre-v30 never introduced the risk of a chain split, which is precisely what BIP-110 does. And it does so with an extremely dangerous activation method (only 55% signaling needed) and with no replay protection as well. It is reckless development, just like running knots is reckless.
