Cadence looked at it. This was a really neat tool, and she was going to ask to get a copy of it to play with in her off time, and Cadence saw the flaw even as Sterling pointed it out, and she looked at it, carefully. Two differences. Sterling said the word "science" and it brought Cadence out of her thoughts.
"No, not science," she said. "Weaving." She smiled and pointed at the flaws. "Imagine these weaves - if you tightened them down, these two parts would stick out. They're not tight enough. They form holes - holes for power to leak through. Maybe that's why it doesn't work. The frame is there - but there are holes - so it heals, but leaves scars. Cadence shrugged. "It's just a guess of course, but to me it makes sense. What do you think?"
She asked the question, looking at Sterling, Juls, and Ilesha, and deep down she felt excited about this. She really felt like she had figured it out.
