Everything is fake as soon as you stretch your data. That's for both colour and luminance.
The degree of what we are comfortable with when it comes to that fakery is different to everyone, but it's all still fake.
I also agree with Ken.. there's no such thing as "true" colour that we can all agree on in this hobby. Even if you are capturing Ha data, the bandpass is too wide and it does bring in more red than would be if you were able to solely isolate true Ha signal. And then that entire spectrum becomes "Ha", even though only a small part of it is.
Filters are getting better at filtering out signal that doesn't match the target wavelength, but it still gets mapped as Ha. Does that then boost the red in an image artificially considering you'd still need someway to capture RGB (through broadband filters or CFAs).. sure it does!
