The memory chapter picked a task where recall was the bottleneck, held everything else still, and measured the one thing it came to measure. The result is a clean explanation and a weak claim. Nothing in it establishes that the same retrieval policy behaves when a search controller is expanding forty nodes, or when a verifier insists that every piece of evidence carry a state identity the search controller has never heard of.</p>
