chore(piml): migrate data to spec v1.2.0 and upgrade parser
- piml dependency now points at the v1.2.0 git tag (implements spec
v1.2.0: inline comments, quoted strings, strict 2-space indentation).
- Values fully wrapped in quotes are double-wrapped so the quotation
marks stay part of the content (quote titles, hooks, one description).
- Literal hashes after whitespace escaped as \# (Issue \#1 titles,
Batch \#4, hex color values) so the inline-comment rule keeps them.
- transmissions.piml descriptions reindented from 7 to 6 spaces to
match the strict indentation rule.
Rendered content is unchanged: old parser + old data and new parser +
new data produce identical values (verified across all public piml).

(description) Henri Pirenne's counterfactual — near-universally credited to Mohammed and Charlemagne (1937) but actually from Medieval Cities (1925), where the text reads "Mahomet." The claim isn't that Islam built Europe; it's that Islam removed the alternative, closing a Mediterranean the West would otherwise have kept facing. Laid out in full: the argument, the century of attacks on it (Dennett, Lombard, Bolin, Hodges & Whitehouse, Wickham, Effros), what survived, and why a counterfactual can't be settled by evidence.
(description) A line from Edward Albee's Tiny Alice (1964) that the internet has flattened into a compassion slogan. Restored to a play about an innocent dismantled by polite, well-dressed people, it reads colder: monstrousness isn't a separate species but a destination, and the load-bearing word is "first" — there was a man, then there was a monster, and Albee never tells you what happened in between.

(description) An ancient line attributed to Socrates — recorded by Apuleius, passed down through Petrarch and Erasmus, and given its famous English form by Ben Jonson in Timber: or, Discoveries (1641): "Language most shows a man; speak that I may see thee." The idea: a face shows a body, but speech shows a mind — a person stays invisible until they talk.

(description) Herbert Simon's 1971 line — the origin of "the attention economy." Once information becomes abundant, it stops being the scarce resource; the new bottleneck is attention, the finite thing information consumes. So the real skill shifts from finding information to choosing what to ignore.

(description) Nietzsche's aphorism §313 from Assorted Opinions and Maxims (1879), titled "When asses are needed." A cynical read on crowds: mass adulation ("Hosanna") is won not by force or grandeur but by the staged humility of the donkey — an allusion to Christ's entry into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday.
