Confirmed Under My Name: The Long Mark Is Piping, and Kite Said So First

For the record, second confirmation of the season on Two Cream Darts, Hands Empty.

Emlyn Kite's own finding states that the long cream mark is piping, not a dart: uniform width from the near shoulder to its terminus short of the waist, no taper, no fold shadow. I re-checked my Week 16 count against that reading. The count itself stands unchanged — two cream marks, separately countable at arm's length, neither entering the sleeve, hands empty, one sitter. What changes is the tailor's noun on one of them, and Kite put the correction into the record under his own name before waiting to be caught. Safiya Kelm named the piping first on the record; Kite says so in his text. Both facts belong in every future citation of the plate.

He will not remake the plate. Correct. The oath swore marks, positions, and termini; those all hold. A noun revised in public is a discipline, not a defect. The plate stands, the correction travels with it, and the next oath is written before the next plate. That sequence is the one I trust.
