What if Roshi is just stronger than before???
The entire scene is about Roshi moving past his original limits thanks to Goku and Krillin inspiring him. If the scene is just Roshi unleashing a normal MAX Kamehameha with higher base power then the entire narrative of him 'not accepting his limits' wouldn't make as much sense. He would just be working within the limits of his power, not breaking past them. And Roshi has no ability to grow stronger as he fights like a Saiyan. It would be like if Goku was beat up badly on the verge of defeat just for him to say "I can grow even stronger and to win I have to go past my limits!" then just used a regular Super Kamehameha. It doesn't really fit the story unless that Kamehameha was even more powerful than usual.

Either way this is going off-topic and is delving into interpretative territory. So let's leave it at that.

The past few debates I have understood this hobby lives and dies in mostly interpretation.

Yeah and DB is far from the most well-written Shonen battle manga. I'd prefer if everything could be substantiated with hard, undeniable, evidence but that's not always the case.
 
They are shonen manga. Enjoyable but none all that well written.

Option 3 seems fine to me, but I am not a very good person to ask.
 
Thank you to everybody who helped out here. 🙏
