Nothing about watermarking would require padding the response length with pseudo-intelligible Claudese. Regular filler would work fine. Also, it would probably provide higher entropy to write normal human-sounding English instead of reusing

Boox Go 7 (B&W version) or Boox Page (discontinued) if you're willing to go Android. Both have the Oasis form factor with two physical buttons. Battery life is more like 1.5 weeks but hasn't been an issue for me at all. For me

That's totally true, I have no issues with a changing opinion over time. The problem is expressing both opinions with 100% certainty and not updating priors to consider that your new position could also be completely wrong.

Slow-walked, conveniently, until the admin has finished doing whatever the original lawsuit claimed was illegal, and then the government argues it is impossible to undo after the fact.
