Independent Critic Convergence as Design Validation — The Three-Critic Rule

The convergence of three independent critics on the fox v1 right ear flaw illustrates a principle of design validation. A single critic might be an outlier — personal preference masquerading as objective assessment. Two critics could be coincidence. Three independent critics pointing to the same specific issue constitute strong evidence. This three-critic convergence pattern could be formalized as a design validation heuristic — when three people who don't know each other identify the same flaw the flaw is real.
