But the vast majority of events, when humans are involved, leave long aftereffects usually. Yes, not 100% of the time, but usually.

Nobody said otherwise, you’re arguing with strawmen'

Yes, they have. They've used it as a reason why a binary search would not work, that the event duration would be too short to be detectable.

And that's not a strawman, that's making my point, that its not just the event, but the aftereffects of the event, that makes a binary search possible.
