See, this is the sort of hot take that you make if you haven't done either law or philosophy. Using natural language, it is incredibly difficult to make unambiguous statements. For most of the twentieth century, the problem was regar

This is terrible, actually. Even assuming the article was bad , the mechanism that you'd use if you had journalistic integrity would be to print an addendum or retraction, and, as necessary, suffix a link to this new document from the
