If anyone would like to point to specifics I’d be grateful

the way you bold key parts of prose (i do like this, but it does feel LLMy).

the way you end on aphorisms:

The work was powered by one consumer GPU (3090), coffee and curiosity.

Is it a lever or a thermometer?

these phrases:

None of what follows disputes any of that.

bystander claim retracted.

and the section titles intuitively feel LLMy.

Such proof-of-stake seems like a prohibitive friction cost and would prevent many legitimate authors from publishing, and many illegitimate authors honestly believe that their work will replicate, and many legitimate authors' work fails to replicate anyway. The analogy to proof-of-stake (in the original post) is inexact, it's closer to proof-of-stake in academia.
