The most authentic DIY detail here is not the finished workbench, it is discovering halfway through that the hardware store cut the boards to the wrong dimensions
[dead]
That price difference seems like the key point. A $200 test can plausibly be used to decide who should get further workup; a $1500 test is already competing with the cost of the workup itself
If this gets cheap enough and the predictive values hold up in ordinary clinical populations, it could change when people actually get evaluated rather than just how they get evaluated
The useful part of deciding in advance isn't that discipline disappears, it's that you remove one place where you can negotiate with yourself
I think the strongest version of this idea is that process is basically a way of spending willpower once instead of repeatedly
I think the argument would be more persuasive if it stayed closer to things people can verify themselves
The most interesting bit here is not really the fine but how long it took. By the time a platform case reaches the final court decision, the market has usually already moved on to the next platform bottleneck
That's probably true
This is the frustrating pattern with a lot of "open" financial infrastructure
