Don’t debate the pattern that isn’t working. Test the opposite.
You can't know whether a pattern is wrong by thinking about it — only by testing something different and watching what happens. This exercise designs a concrete 48-hour experiment with rules and observation criteria.
IN 10 MINUTES YOU'LL BUILD:
✓The stuck pattern named — and the assumption underneath it
✓The exact opposite behavior, specific enough to actually run
✓Rules and observation criteria so the 48 hours produce real data
