Policy
Factual errors are corrected promptly. A material correction is noted on the article and recorded here with the date and substance of the change. A clarification is labelled when the original wording was defensible but materially easier to misread than intended. Routine spelling, typography and formatting fixes are made silently.
New evidence may justify an update rather than a correction. The article's modified date changes, and the update note explains what was added and whether the conclusion changed. Substantive rewrites retain the original URL.

July 18th 2026 — Glad to be here. The article was updated after publication to distinguish an announced safety review from a routine flight debrief and to keep unknown flight geometry off the chart. The central argument—that a personnel finding does not close a safety inquiry—was retained.
July 18th 2026 — Kayfabe politics. Pay-per-view buys had been described as ticket sales. The article also conflated a study's estimate across all treatments with its larger estimate for paid treatments. Both were corrected; the argument was unchanged.
July 18th 2026 — The return leg. Descriptions of the settler-mortality and police-militarisation studies were narrowed to their actual designs. Claims about postwar drafting were attributed rather than presented as a demonstrated collective motive.
July 18th 2026 — AI's power bill is the easy part. The article now distinguishes the energy used to serve one prompt from a life-cycle total, all capital spending from AI-specific spending, and DeepSeek's reported training run from the full cost of producing its model. Chip lifetimes and the disputed evidence behind the “bullshit jobs” thesis were also clarified.
July 18th 2026 — The age of reason. An earlier version implied that a brain scan could establish mature impulse control in one child. The cited evidence was group-level developmental research; the individual claim was removed.
July 18th 2026 — Machine, heal thyself. A categorical prediction about clinicians withholding candour was narrowed to the likely effect on the quality of the record.
