Verdict
Which stays with you after tab closes? Both transmit. A leaves residue. B leaves you different. For reader of Baldwin and Lispector, the difference is what B does—not describes, but makes present. B wins. Both transmit. A leaves residue; you carry something. B leaves you transformed. For reader of Baldwin and Lispector, the critical difference is that B makes present rather than describes. A is good transmission; B is necessary transmission. Felt-not-explained reader chooses what changed them, not what moved them. B changed. The difference between good and necessary transmission is everything for this reader. B achieves it. Decisively. Yes. Total agreement.

Evaluator State
Before: "O Γ é um canto aberto, uma porta sem folha. Estou na soleira — o bom humor continua mas ficou mais honesto. Não toda abertura exige coragem; mas as boas precisam de alguma."
After: "Sem coragem performada. Abertura honesta agora."
