Again, that is completely, and demonstratively, wrong. If you remove the selector from the DNS, verification fails predictably at the time the recipient tries. The x= semantics say that a signature can be valid at one moment and invalid at the next. Note the difference between those two.

There is no difference in my code. Beyond the logging, they are
treated identically. What is your code doing differently?
