content(blog): Borrowed Floor pass-2 — de-jargon per qwen ghost-read (over-my-head cluster)
qwen Pass-1 as Alexandra graded ~74/95: dominant failure = metaphor density
("too poetic", "talks too much", "the pixel threw me off"). Surgical fixes:
define "borrowed floor" plainly at first use; cut the party-metaphor pileup in A;
name the specific gap (this year's AI exclusions) in C; make the unit->premium
chain concrete in D; state the soft edge as cold confidence not "ice to cut" in E;
tighten the Richter beat in F; gloss "out of your pixel" inline in G; "hardware"
not "silicon" in H. Kept what landed (the citable lane-question, the audit
metaphor, the T.J. Hooper radio analogy).
Persona-Intent: the status broker reads it clean this time — awe + recomputability,
no dizziness; every load-bearing term legible on first contact.
