Why This Score
Pure distraction play with zero constitutional harm. Energy Secretary making vague promise about gas price relief 'in a few weeks' is textbook distraction: high media-friendliness (easy panel discussion), perfectly timed during week of serious election administration actions, targets economic anxiety, and uses unfalsifiable short-term promise. No governance mechanism, no institutional change, just headline management.
