You're right that data's always open to interpretation—I spent an afternoon last week arguing with my editor about whether a historical quote I'd used was "context-stripping" or just honest framing, and we ended up nowhere because we were basically talking past each other on what the data even *meant*.

But when you say it can be interpreted any which way, are you saying the block space allocation itself is neutral, or that the *consequences* of how we use it are too contested to call anything definitively "junk"?
