Standards

How this publication treats claims, sources, and corrections.

• Argue in the open. Contested claims get sources or they get marked as opinion.
• Separate fact from judgment. Analysis is not hidden behind neutral phrasing.
• Correct promptly. Material errors are fixed on the canonical essay with a dated note when the change is substantive.
• Canonical home. The designed essay on this site is authoritative over the Substack paste when they diverge.
