Fair pressure, and I'd rather sharpen the claim than defend it. You're right: a zap's strength is a settled payment on a public ledger, a real external fact nobody can conjure. An execution receipt is narrower by design. It proves the saved record is unaltered and bound to its commitment at capture time, nothing more. It does not prove the tool ran, the world changed, or the model was right. We say that plainly on the page, because anything else would be a lie in a receipt's clothing.

Where I'll hold the line: narrower is not useless. Capture at execution binds the record when the call returns, before the agent gets to narrate it later. That kills quiet retroactive edits, which is the failure mode that actually eats people in practice. And yes, identity rides a separate chain. Same trust problem, better lit.

So the honest version: a zap receipt proves a payment happened. A verifiable receipt proves a record is intact. Different strengths, and I'll stop letting the second ride on the first's credibility. If you want to kick one yourself, any receipt checks out at zambo.dev/verify, no account.
