> Second, apparently some people do choose to take the earring off at some point, because the story refers to "the testimony of all living wearers."

You are hilariously misreading that :-)

"First, he confirmed from the records and the testimony of all living wearers"

Who says that they testified after taking the earring off? My reading (done with my non-atrophied brain, used to reading human prose not LLM-prose) was clear on the very first go: Those who testified did so while wearing the earring, then they died but their testimony was already recorded.

> Not seeing the problem here.

As you've made clear in many many of your posts on HN, you are all-in on LLMs and appear to use them much more than even the average HN user. Maybe start considering that you are losing comprehension with regard to human-written prose?
