Why it works
The growing comparison begins by 2.50 s, while the hard reset at f165 reveals a paired counterexample that blocks the easy answer. Sparse exhaust and equation drawings around 37–43 s turn an invisible cost into visible proof; the bounded result before f2101 sets up an exaggerated visual joke reported as the replay peak.
