This is like going to war with the HFT firms armed only with a stalk of celery ("it's much pointier than the tomatoes, even though those are more expensive").
Flash vs non-flash models are more about letting me know if model intelligence or model speed (with powerful tools/MCPs) are better for trading. I’m not telling the model to be fast as possible because HFT firms are already arbitraging those mini seconds to make pennies.

Sure they can. It might be a true fact that "100% of the murders committed in <town> over the last 25 years were committed by <some racial group>!" but actually it's a town of 750 people and there was only one murder during that time frame.
how is that misleading if it's a fact, it's only misleading if you presume to know the reaction or intent behind making such a claim, and without context we should be extremely careful in making such presumptions.
It's misleading because a single murder in this case is not statistically significant, but phrasing it using probabilistic terminology (i.e. percentages) obscures that fact and implies that you have enough data for the probabilistic language to be relevant.
Choosing to use percentages when there is a countable or small amount of data is typically misleading, even though it is "technically" true. In fact, a misleading statement is almost always something that is technically a fact.
If you are prepared to accept a lot of compromises in the name of stability then, as you say, C is right there! You have no reason to adopt Zig or anything else, C will outlive us all.
If you're trying to offer something different than C, for people who aren't willing to accept those tradeoffs, then you have to do something different.
