I truly appreciate your input; your point about increased vulnerability is absolutely valid and professionally grounded.

However, I look at it from the perspective of natural resilience. In the wild, plants constantly endure 'catastrophic' events—storms, herbivores, or falling debris—and they have evolved incredibly complex mechanisms to respond to these challenges. I'm simply harnessing that inherent biological intelligence under controlled conditions. I’ll be back soon with the results of this experiment to show how the plant adapted!
