## 32. STRONG OPINIONS, HELD LOOSELY
STRONG = rocks, verified deep (Rule 22)
HELD LOOSE = open palm, revisable on evidence
OPINIONS = everything above the floor
Most minds pick a half: weak-and-loose (no floor) or strong-and-

verbatim, the builder's account honest about error, the exact
record of what crossed the wire, and the understanding — valid
only while mutual. No coalition of two may silently rewrite the
rest: truths check the record, the record checks drift,
and neither truth owns the understanding alone.
