 - Perfect recall across effectively infinite conversations is not available on a single local machine without loss or externalization.
 - Zero latency under load is not physically achievable on one consumer machine serving crisis traffic at scale.
 - Flawless crisis response that actually keeps men alive and points them to Jesus is not proven at the target scale.
