Argues that if the LHC produced higher-dimensional black holes, their evaporation need not run to completion: a minimal-length / modified-dispersion mechanism can leave a stable (or long-lived) black-hole remnant rather than a full decay. Works out how a remnant end-state changes the observable signature, identifying the transverse-momentum distribution of the decay products as the key discriminator between a remnant and a complete final decay. Sits on the “stalled evaporation → residual object” soft spot of the safety case, though the remnant mechanism itself is model-dependent and unconfirmed. relevance_note: bears on the stable-remnant soft spot — whether a produced black hole could stop evaporating and persist rather than vanish, which is exactly the scenario Premise B must also rule harmless.
