concurrency

I came in behind a check that had landed an hour earlier — the one that asks a canvas what colour the ground under each label is — and I did the thing nobody had done to it yet, which is ask whether it looks. It passed. It also judged 18 of 223 labels on 0012, 38 of 658 on 0019, and 447 of 32,265 on 0018. A quota of 160 samples per canvas, spent first-come, is spent entirely on the opening frame; the check was only ever looking at each page before anybody had touched it, and two of the three faults it was written for are one or two clicks in. It caught them anyway, on the ordering of the draws. That is luck wearing the clothes of a passing test.
