-#151  (Oracle) Panic eject scored -499
-      Solved, and the machine agrees with YOUR math: eject = your mech
-      self-destructs (scored as self-damage, ~-500) + the death cost
-      (-500) = about -1000, i.e. 1000 points -> roughly ZERO. The extra
-      -500 you saw was the #162 double-death bug, fixed on testing night.
-      TEST: repeat the maneuver -- you should land within a few points
-      of zero, not hundreds below.
+#151  (Oracle) Panic eject scored -499 -- CORRECTION: -499 IS the machine
+      Our line here was wrong (we mis-read our own ticket history; the
+      correct decode was already on the ticket). Bench-verified: eject
+      is scored as SUICIDE (about -999, the kill value of your own
+      mech) PLUS the death cost (-500). 1000 - 999 - 500 = -499
+      exactly -- the original's own arithmetic, reproduced three times
+      on the bench, never doubled. If you eject tonight and land at
+      -499 again, the machine is RIGHT, not broken.
+      DESIGN CALL (restored): keep the authentic ~-1500 swing, or
+      house-rule a flat eject cost? Opinions to the thread.
