> How are we going to trust historical records when they can be changed on the fly to support whatever is en vogue? This is a good question, and more practical than it might look like: there have been instances of major media outlets being caught quietly editing their "early" covid reporting from spring 2020 later in the pandemic, to better match the changes in the narrative. I deeply regret not bookmarking some of the examples: this is now ungooglable, and not having a prooflink makes me sound like a conspiracy theorist.
