Correct,

I listened to the entire video Mr Mechanic posted on his YouTube, 1.5hrs.

I feel like he portrays knots in a non-holistic way.

"Knots solves this issue if adopted by the economic majority"

Okay, but it also introduces other paradigms that need to be addressed.

Mr Mechanic admits that we have time to adjust - so why no adversarial thought towards improving knots from a leadership perspective?

If knots does this it becomes an actual threat for change - otherwise, it's another compromise.

So in one sense, Mechanic is arguing for a more conservative approach to mempool governance, but in the process may inadvertently cause a less conservative mechanism for pushing out changes to the majority.

Which is the lesser evil, or how can we get around this?

Yes, but not necessarily a majority - just enough users where it's obviously critical to the Bitcoin user base.

Also, in this context, the economic majority of node users doesn't necessarily mean user majority.
