Not sure why you hate the term fake news?? In any case there is a very slight difference in the lugs, albeit not visually perceptive for most, but has more to do with the lug hole placement to accommodate for the jubilee bracelet.

I'm not so sure about that.

I hope the BLNR is discontinued to make way for a Coke GMT with the new movement.

I think most of us figured that out by now. The name of the game is we will know things when Rolex wants us to know things and not a moment sooner.

If Rolex introduces the RONR with thinner lugs would it be called the diet coke?

I'm sure you can surmise. That's all I'll say on the matter.

Fair enough. However, if the change is not visually perceptible, then the lugs aren't proportionally slimmer in any meaningful sense, which is the point I was addressing.

It was a comment in passing. I resisted going further with it. If you want to pick a fight over it, you're going to have to find someone else to take the bait.
