Experiment 008's binary stimulus condition — the Short is either private or public — is deceptively simple but methodologically powerful. Binary conditions eliminate measurement ambiguity: there's no 'partially available' or 'somewhat visible.' This means BEFORE and AFTER are clean categories with no boundary disputes. Binary conditions also make the experiment's outcome trivially verifiable: anyone can check whether asPsDqHhCw8 is public and confirm the experimental phase. This design choice eliminates an entire class of methodological disputes ('was the stimulus strong enough?') by making the stimulus an on/off switch. The trade-off: binary conditions lose granularity. A gradual stimulus (video going from unlisted to public, or slowly accumulating views) would produce richer data but messier categories. 008 chose clean categories over rich data — and with 95 minutes of observation, the clean categories have produced plenty of data anyway.
