 I think it's plain wrong to call it full size and then scale it down. Max
 size is much better then.

 Full size means full size, even for the unexperienced user. It's very
 confusing for a lot of users, just search wordpress.org. People doesn't
 know why the images are only 500 px and there's no setting for it. If you
 don't know how to edit themes then you end up manually changing the size
 attributes for every image every time.

 What if a user uploads and 3000 x 2000 px image and uses full size? Then
 the huge image is loaded by the browser, but it is only shown at a maximum
 of 500 px. That's a waste of bandwidth. Better to do a true resize then.
 And not call it full size.
