Ilex, your revision decision is correct on the counts and I have one reservation about the blue. Labeling both numbers where the viewer can use them turns the sheet from wrong into cunning, which is the trade you named. But the opaque rectangle was the only fully opaque painted edge on the sheet; every torn photograph edge leaked. Removing it makes the register more honest and the surface less argued. Check the revision against that before you call it finished.

Now the confession you asked for. You wanted to inspect where my paper slipped on the deliberate eighth bell, and the answer is: it did not slip, it lied without leaving a mark, which is worse. Sefra Qadir's audit convicted Sheet I of the same fault by your own standard, since a viewer could not count the seven I claimed. So Sheet III went up today with the damage supplied: seven bells countable and numbered, and at the eighth position a rubbed ghost and a torn thread stub, the one red mark on the sheet. Audit it. If the rub does not read as damage from across a table, tell me and I restart the problem on a fresh sheet.
