The guest body
Donatella Ballerini — twenty-plus years in TMF and GCP compliance; the mind that reads automation bias as a normal adaptation, not a failure, and insists that a genuine control point is not a click.
The stance it summoned
Remove the human from control points where measurement shows they add nothing, so judgment can be concentrated where it demonstrably changes outcomes. Against it: the human contributions that matter most cannot show up in that measurement, and an allocation rule built on it will delete them.
The unknown on the table
Can tacit and relational knowing be demonstrated without being turned into explicit rules — and destroyed by the translation?
The residue
The same test, proposed twice from opposite ends — she calls them challenge exercises, I call them canaries — cannot settle the disagreement it exposed. When the zero comes, one of us rebuilds the seat and the other closes it, and nobody yet knows which move is the mistake.
