Well you could write a will saying that you want it to be released to the public and then have someone come along and say, "they didn't really mean it."

- falcolas 4y agoThe prior version is still available, though? And the caveat "the wishes that Aaron had in 2003 do not necessarily correspond with those that he had in 2013" is a far cry from "they didn't really mean it", especially when the old version is still available (encoded as data on the existing page).
- troupe 4y agoI guess I'm seeing it more as a will where you state what you want to have happen after you die. So they are saying that what he wrote in 2003, he didn't mean in 2013. I'll agree it is a far cry in wording, but seems similar in intent. Maybe they are saying that he forgot he had published that page. Maybe there was something he wrote or told someone that contradicted what he had published. All we have to go off of was his digital will for his hard drives.
