The Kasim test
Every popular name lives one long story — a climb, a peak, a slow settling back. Eh's later chapters haven't been written yet, so we borrowed them: Kasim climbed just as high around 1991, and its whole arc is on record. Line the two peaks up, and Kasim's path sketches the road Eh is walking now.
