How so? The original lore is a mess and several details have changed over years while novelists have contradicted each other multiple times.

The sincere effort I think is what's most important. Even if the show contradicts some of the existing lore one can still make a good faith argument as to why something is added or left out due to other reasons in-universe and out

Yeah sure. If they wrote "Henry Cavill's rule ensures a lore-faithful adaptation" - fine, that would be great. "100% Lore Accurate" is an impossible standard that just ensures many an immature nerd will load their keyboard with religious intent.

Just imagining a Space Marine Chaplain slamming a Crozius onto a keyboard screaming about heretics lol

I just hope they get the Imperial Truth vs Imperial Creed part right.
