He stated that "any inv= alid blocks they produce" will be orphaned. This is not false. If non-= upgraded miners do not produce blocks that are invalid per the new rules, t= heir blocks will not be orphaned. This is consistent with Peter's comme= nt.

False. With bip9-based soft-fork= -based activation of segwit, miner blocks will not be orphaned unless they = are intentionally segwit-invalid (which they currently are not). If you hav= e told miners otherwise, let me know.
