To me your post comes across as trying to draw a distinction between two different types of tautologies. Neither is a valid argument to begin with.

The goalpost is formal logic, they do not shift, I am not shifting anything;

Argument of a form ‘data X,Y,Z shows Spotify is priced correctly’ would be valid. ‘Spotify have priced correctly because they are <insert definition of Spotify>’ is not logically valid. Like in formal logic, it cannot be valid.

If you are wondering if there is baking soda in a container, you could pour some vinegar in there. If there is no bubbling of carbon dioxide, then there was no baking soda. This is not circular logic, this is an observation that necessary evidence that would have accompanied the existence of something isn’t there, so the thing itself isn’t there.
