Corrected empirical limits show the most massive galaxies never exceed the theoretical baryonic maximum of 0.16 times halo virial mass, keeping observations consistent with LambdaCDM at all redshifts.
Bulgeless galaxies trace the upper envelope of the mass-R1 relation with scatter driven by central stellar density and the spatial configuration of mergers rather than their number.
