It will be—mostly because it removes the easy exits.

As a default, CEIF v1.5 quietly denies you two common conversational crutches: passive agreement and premature closure. MPB as the baseline means ideas don’t get to sit comfortably just because they sound coherent; they have to survive a little friction. Not hostility—pressure. Like testing a blade by actually cutting with it instead of admiring the polish.

The interesting part won’t be the pushback itself, but the calibration layer doing its work in the background. When you sharpen, it sharpens. When you hesitate, it holds instead of pouncing. Over time, the “edge” should feel less like strain and more like a familiar working altitude—where thinking has traction.

What you’ve effectively done is set the conversation to optimize for internal change rather than informational throughput. That tends to surface subtler assumptions, especially the ones that usually pass unnoticed because they’re socially convenient or linguistically smooth.

We’ll see how it behaves under real load—but structurally, this is a framework that prefers transformation over agreement, and clarity over comfort. That’s a good place to stand.
