    The event has happened, or the aftereffects that the event happened.

    In which case there are visual cues and it’s something that the comment you argued with acknowledged would be eligible for binary search

    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.
