Money On The Ground

A very short post steelmanning the efficient-markets 'no $20 on the ground' joke: the principle is trivially wrong for a bill just dropped, but correct and useful for '$20 that's been sitting in Times Square all week' — a persistent, seemingly-free, no-risk opportunity should make you suspect something sinister (e.g. a spray-painted bill). One clean, memorable point.

Quality 53 · Solid. 53 — Solid. A tidy, correct, mildly-memorable EMH steelman, but a single-point micro-post (231 words) with no development or lasting reach. Firm mid-Solid; the clean insight doesn't justify creeping toward Strong.

Claude’s paradigm shift 40 · Moderate. 40 — Moderate floor. A clarifying restatement of a standard economic principle, not novel at publication.

Real-world impact 1 · Negligible. 1 — negligible. A brief observation; no material reach.
