Fun aside -- that depends on how precisely you measure. Shorelines resemble fractals, and the higher resolution you measure them at, the longer they will get.
Completely agree with you. I just googled "lake ontario shoreline" and i'm sure if you spent a few mins you would find multiple answers for the reason you specified.
I think shoreline also includes islands, so in lake Ontario's case.. there are a lot of islands and so my point is sort of washed.
