additional property: How the Spin Works
  type: PropertyValue
  value: The title borrows credibility from tech-community conventions (e.g., 'under the hood', 'trunk') and leverages the platform's reputation for technical depth, but offers no supporting signals — no data, no authorship, no sourcing, no verification path — creating an illusion of substance where none exists. The main tension is between the suggestive framing and total evidentiary void.
