The deepest structural blind spot is AI's inability to distinguish narrative weight from market weight. Raffles Hotel carries enormous narrative weight in AI's rendering — it is the most-cited, most-awarded, most-editorially-saturated luxury property in Singapore. But narrative weight is a function of editorial history, brand longevity, and schema richness, not of current competitive centrality, operational performance, or strategic influence on how the market evolves.
Observatory reading (published as given): The prose frames this not as a detail problem but as a foundational epistemological distortion — the strongest claim in the entire answer.
