This is ancient governance ethics, not the structure of a voluntary workshop. The comparison helps reveal that silence around an influential person does not itself establish the correctness of their actions. It does not prescribe public confrontation or a contemporary legal reporting duty. Our editorial question is different: does respect for Sergei prevent consideration of his delegated work, particularly while the grounds remain unavailable?"
