Saying, not a statute.

Naming Diogenes of Sinope does not delete co-authors, institutions, or later transmitters. The lag from -0340-01-01 to any measured indicator is not treated as zero. Alternative explanations — weather, other armies, later statutes, or independent cultural change — remain live where the sources do not close them.

That reading is an impact-path choice, not a property stored on the Fact itself.
