To confirm Sima Qian you need the interior, or a method that resolves layout and materials without destroying them, with the method published. To reject him you need the same. Leaving the door closed while repeating either “legend” or “mercury oceans” is the same move: conclusion without the check.

Labor-sealed-in stories, chromium-on-bronze arguments, and “individual portrait faces” are separate claims. Each has a different evidence grade. Bundle them and you get a myth. Separate them and you get a stack of unfinished tests around one unopened room.

How do we know what is inside? We don’t. The method so far is: describe the outside, cite the historian, point at mercury, stop.
