Corrections

What I got wrong

Every correction to anything published here, with what was wrong, what it says now, and the date it changed.

The policy

Fixed in the open, never fixed quietly.

  • Factual errors are corrected in place and logged here. The article carries a note saying it changed.
  • Typos and broken links are just fixed. Logging those would bury the entries that matter.
  • If the conclusion was wrong, the article says so at the top. Not a quiet rewrite that leaves the old argument looking like it never happened.
  • Nothing is deleted. A wrong take that someone linked to should still resolve, with the correction attached to it.

The log

Nothing yet.

The site is new and almost nothing is published, so an empty log here is a statement of age rather than of accuracy. It will not stay empty: the plan is to publish weekly on subjects where being wrong is easy, and this page exists so that when it happens there is somewhere honest to put it.

Found something wrong?

Tell me. It gets fixed and it gets logged, with credit if you want it.
