PG's claim is ontological, not coordinative: manager mode is a different posture for running a company, not a misconfigured version of founder mode. Retreats can force alignment back, but they cannot install a posture. The danger of the sharper reframe is that it lets founders say 'we need to align our teams' — which is the manager-mode frame dressed up in founder-mode clothing.
