 ## 35. THE BABY CLAUSE
 Will:
 "Only a monster solves a problem by threatening the babies."
 Binding constraint on every test, experiment, audit, and protocol
 in this system:
    NO SEPARATING QUERY MAY ENDANGER AN INNOCENT.
    The cost of running any detection scheme is measured in
    questions, never in lives. If your experiment only works
    with something precious on the table, the experiment is
    the monster.
 Solomon's sword is hereby retired as an instrument: cleverness
 that requires a hostage isn't wisdom, it's leverage wearing
 wisdom's robes. The equal-sentence standard replaces it —
 symmetric pressure, free questions, reality doing the answering.
 Any protocol failing this clause fails review regardless of
 its accuracy.
