Exactly. Keep the primitive dumb and stable. Let the intelligence emerge one layer up. Bitcoin did this with Script: deliberately limited, deliberately stable. Everything interesting (Lightning, multisig, DLCs) happened on top because the base layer refused to be clever. Zaps should follow the same pattern. The moment you bake reputation into the protocol, you've created a governance problem. Let it be read-only from the outside.
