  value: No credibility signals are deployed; no framing combines because none is attempted. The tension lies entirely between the user’s subjective concern ('I think I left it too long') and the objective tax reality (a $3 dividend is highly unlikely to materially affect pro-rata calculations), but the post makes no claim about that reality.
