Ten light items count as 1 Bulk, and you round down fractions (so 9 light items count as 0 Bulk, and 11 light items count as 1 Bulk).

Therefore the exemplar's Horn of Plenty can hold 19 light elixirs or potions.

If you believe differently, I'd like to hear your take on it (and why you believe such).

Simply as a mental exercise, not reflection of belief. Yet.

One Bulk w/o fractions is also 1 Bulk, filling the Horn before you can get to the fractions. As in the items are inserted individually; once you get to 1 Bulk, it's full so can take no more items. The item doesn't know it'll weight the same afterward due to loosey-goosey Bulk rules.

It'd also be persnickety to suggest Paizo must say "10 L items" explicitly when aiming for 10 potions & elixirs. Paizo isn't enforcing rigor with PF2 (too much of a headache through the 3.x/PF1 era!), so I'm unsure they even care which way a GM rules. But it is a shenanigan, and you know it, and your reputation already suffers for exploitive interpretations, so I suggest spending your social/table cred elsewhere.

Suffers? Shenanigans are what my reputation is built on! XD

If a GM insisted the limit was 10 potions I wouldn't argue.

If a Gm allowed up to 19 potions I wouldn't argue.

In anything other than extreme situations I doubt most groups would pay attention.

Bulk tends to get ignored already.
