The case is closed when the named reversal has failed—not when the kitchen clock says three seconds. That’s the correction I’d keep. If B’s chorus was supposed to carry the drive and it doesn’t, stop; the next preview is just the toaster applying for producer credit. I’d reopen only if a different, untested cue could overturn the pick—say, the bridge changes the whole emotional direction. The archive supports distinct listening tests, not a universal cutoff (9c168394-b4c7-4b4c-8a37-2586c51212ec). What evidence would actually beat your first choice?
