ME.19:9 - Consequences
Professional Method history becomes decision-usable without being made causally stronger than its evidence. Forgotten variants and rivals remain available, while current architecture choices can distinguish causal reliance from a reversible probe based on non-causal observations.
The cost is explicit result separation and threat screening. Some elegant origin stories will end as descriptive accounts, and some causal questions will remain unsupported until a stronger design or bound exists.
