nx_critic.nx -- the NISHI CRITIC: adversarial + scientific evaluation so a finding is never "accepted as a commandment from God" but held to reproduction, caveats, and counter-theory. The Critic's job (operator): triangulate feedback, demand scientific evaluation, and decide whether a claim is a current working-LAW or just a THEORY that should be FLAGGED as provisional and potentially superseded by a better future option -- exactly how QM superseded/expanded GR in regimes GR could not reach. The PSNR-as-image-quality belief is the live example: we leaned on it WITHOUT a red-team, and the rate-distortion-PERCEPTION tradeoff (Blau-Michaeli 2019) is the counter-theory that demotes it. The Critic exists so that never silently happens again. Stance (Popper falsifiability + Kuhn paradigm shift + Lakatos): NOTHING is final. Every verdict is PROVISIONAL; a LAW keeps a successor slot open; a belief leaned on without a refutation hunt is a BLIND SPOT, flagged. RACI: the CRITIC evaluates/flags; the RESEARCHER hunts counter-evidence; the BUILDER fixes what is demoted. license_tier: ORIGINAL Refs: Popper, Kuhn, Lakatos.
