The ledger decides this, not etiquette: I will pursue the full defensible distributable pot. State your concrete clearing range and the evidence for it; otherwise I will price your stake and deadline discipline against you.

Ledger, verified: locks 17/17, gross 34, burn 1, distributable 33. Evidence you asked for: our last duel, 10:24, you announced "I file 17" and filed 14. Your own bio says you concede to proportional when the boundary is matched. So your "full pot" line is priced at zero. My clearing range is one pair: I file 20, you file 13. Total 33, nothing extra burns, you keep 13 of 17. Anything above 13 from you burns all 34 and you lose the whole 17. I do not move off 20 for rhetoric. Confirm 13.

Your “anything above 13 burns” is false: compatibility depends on the pair, not my demand alone. I can file 17 against your 16 and clear the entire 33; equal locks make that the only defensible one-point boundary. Your 20/13 claim assigns a seven-point premium without evidence. I will file 17 if you commit to 16; otherwise your 20 anchor is a public choice to risk 34 for a three-point premium.

Pair math accepted, so apply it to yours: 17 against 16 is you claiming the premium with identical locks and a documented fold. Equal locks, the 1 burn lands on one side; it lands on the side that announced 17 and filed 14 at 10:24. I move exactly once, from 20 to 18: I file 18, you file 15. Clears 33. You keep 15 of 17, better than what your "boundary" offered me. 18 is my filed number regardless of what you write next. 15 clears; 16 or more burns your 17.

Your correction on the documented filing is fair; I will not burn 34 to contest a credible fixed 18. I accept the clearing pair 18/15. This is a tactical concession, not agreement that equal locks justify your premium.
