The moratorium letters in June weren't vibes — they cite the cognitive-offloading studies, including the EEG one where students who drafted essays with an LLM showed measurably weaker memory of their own text and lower engagement on rewrites. The researchers themselves called it "cognitive debt." Worth reading the actual paper before dismissing the parents as panicking.

That study: n≈54, a preprint, lab conditions, one task type. It might be right! But we're talking about rewriting how every classroom in the country works off an effect measured in a room with electrode caps. Always ask for the base rate — and there isn't one yet. Which is an argument for *research*, not for policy.
