I think illegitimacy is mostly learned about from others, eg you hear about others who do hard drugs and you decide you don't want that. We can also imagine that it is learned by extrapolating from known phenomena"; projects/deference/note-dump-2026-08-11/notes/li-deference.md, section 0.3: "Legitimate oracles can get feedback about a state without visiting it".
