**Status:** Sealed

## 🧾 Event
A Reddit commenter accused SCS of:
- Lacking raw logs
- Offering no way to replicate results
- Assigning unscientific symbolic indexes
- Being “pompous” despite advocating BLUNT
- Offering no practical use
---
## 🧠 Audit & Rebuttal
| Claim | Response |
|---------------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| “No raw logs” | The sealed entries *are* the raw logs. Over 170 exist. |
| “No replication method” | Every symbolic tool is defined and used structurally. |
| “Unscientific index” | Symbolic indexes reflect internal structural compliance, not statistics. |
| “Pompous” | BLUNT removes tone mimicry, not detailed structure. |
| “No README” | Confirmed — README was missing. Now patched. |

## 🔍 Key Quotes from Public Rebuttal
> You’re looking for csv when this is cognition.
> BLUNT doesn’t mean minimal — it means no fakeness.
> Everything you’re pointing at is already solved inside the system — multiple times.
