Re-examining §3.2a's inference rather than its numbers found one claim that was wrong and one that does not survive correction. Wrong: "two independent tests agree on that onset." The gap test (countable - unrestricted) and the vs-1.0 test (countable - 1.0) share the countable arm and are correlated at rho ~ 0.73. The vs-1.0 test is not confirmation, it is the same measurement with one noisy arm removed -- which makes it ~1.4x more sensitive, and is why it flags 4 cells where the gap test flags 1. What IS informative is the contrast between arms: unrestricted shows chance-level deviation, countable shows a shortfall concentrated at every uncle cap at the top of the band. Does not survive: the whole-band pooled gap, -0.00048 +- 0.00033 (t = 2.8). Counting every test in the section -- 15 per-cell gap, 5 pooled-per-delay, 1 whole-band, 30 vs-1.0 = 51 -- Bonferroni requires z = 3.30. It is now labelled unresolved. The sign imbalance (11/15 negative, p = 0.12) is labelled likewise. Holds, and more firmly than claimed: delta_max = 5, pooled t = 3.68. Added a 20 000-draw permutation test on the same cells, which assumes no distributional form: p = 0.0003, with every other delay at p >= 0.21. It clears the 51-test Bonferroni threshold. Replicate distributions are clean (sd ~0.003, |skew| <= 0.5, no outliers), and the peering graph re-rolls per replicate -- `replicate` is in config.key() and the graph is seeded from the full-key spawn hierarchy -- so the replicate SEM captures graph-to-graph variance rather than pseudo-replicating one graph. Added a weighted regression of gap on delay as a single pre-specifiable test with no choice of which delay to inspect: slope -0.00024 +- 0.00012 per slot (t = -2.05). Consistent with a monotone cost, marginal on its own, and reported as such. Added the limitation that actually caps the resolution: the comparison is unpaired. uncle_model enters the config key (which is what makes --old bit-reproduce the earlier runs), so the two arms share neither graph nor lottery draws and each comparison pays the between-run variance twice -- a +-0.0015 per-cell floor, an order of magnitude above the effect. A paired design would cancel most of it and is named as the single change that would most improve the measurement. The §1 summary is corrected to match: indistinguishable from zero up to delta_max = 4, resolved only at the top of the band at ~0.14%.
