Corrections
He who audits himself can't be exposed.
Every article here is a test report, and test reports get amended. This log records every substantive revision to a published article — what changed, why, and when. Typo fixes and formatting don't get logged; changes to claims, framing, evidence, or scope do.
Three rules govern this page:
- Same URL, current version. An article's address never changes. The page always shows the current version; superseded versions are retired from the site and retained only in the private source history.
- The log is the receipt, not the archive. Entries describe the change at the level a reader needs — they do not republish retired text.
- Corrections are logged within one release cycle of being made, each with a stable ID.
If you believe something published here is wrong, unfair, or insufficiently anonymized, email me. Per house rules, I respond once generously — and then I update the article, and this log.
CL-0002 · 2026-07-19
Rebuilt the case study as an explicitly constructed teaching composite and retired the v1 case description. Removed two analyzed conditions (demographic attributes of leaders and teams) that fell below this site's anonymization standard — analysis of demographic attributes now happens only on published research or clearly synthetic data, never on material that could be read as describing real colleagues. Replaced them with neutral structural conditions. Added the standing independence disclaimer.
Unchanged: the method (Coincidence Analysis), the SIOP 2023 origin story, every claim about equifinality, asymmetry, and Boolean minimization, and the conclusion.
Why logged: v1 predated the site's anonymization standard (adopted 2026-07-19, see CL-0000). Retrofit, not retraction — no finding was wrong; the packaging was under-anonymized.
CL-0001 · 2026-07-19
Generalized all workplace references into career-wide composites and retired v1 phrasing that could be misread as describing specific current colleagues or a specific role. Reframed the "drained relationships" passage as a pattern-level observation about low-clarity working relationships anywhere. Added the standing independence disclaimer.
Unchanged: the assignment, the findings about perceived vs. actual power, the expert-power trade-off, and the closing question.
Why logged: same standard adopted in CL-0000. The audit's subject was always me; v2 makes sure the text can't be read any other way.
CL-0000 · 2026-07-19
Adopted a formal anonymization standard, effective this date, applying to all past and future articles:
- Views published here are mine alone and represent no employer, past or present.
- Workplace-derived examples are composites with details altered; no post describes an identifiable organization, team, or individual, and no internal or non-public organizational information is used.
- Demographic attributes are analyzed only in published research or clearly synthetic cases.
- Articles predating this standard are being re-audited; revisions appear in this log as they ship.
Why logged: a standard you adopt silently is a standard you can quietly drop. Date-stamping it here makes it enforceable — by you, on me.
