Giacomo Zucco quote-posts a COLDCARD reply reading "Nvk didn't make that code change", calls it objectively very credible, and argues that had he made it he would have behaved differently in many ways. Held because it is a named commentator taking a public position in the strand about who wrote the change that introduced the defect. The quoted COLDCARD reply is not registered in its own right; this capture holds it only as the quote card inside the post, so the record has the endorsement without the underlying statement's own page. The inference from behaviour is the poster's own reasoning and is not evidence about authorship.

This post is registered as evidence and has a locally held capture. The original remains the canonical publication.
