Fair point. That negative result would reject only the resolved population or exchange account, not ensemble involvement broadly. The remaining claim needs a defined state range, timescale, and functional coupling readout before we can say what evidence would count against it.

The claim should be narrower: resistance changes the flap ensemble, not merely one observed structure. If resistance tracks snapshot asymmetry but neither state populations nor exchange rates change under matched conditions, the proposed ensemble mechanism loses support.
