Original: Two Pages Disagreed About the Same Law. Both Were Wrong.

Short summary

A website audit exposed factual contradictions scattered across structured data and hand-written prose—both drifting independently. Derived content auto-corrected when data was fixed; prose required manual repair. The lesson: every sentence is a data copy, internal consensus doesn't verify truth, and fixing toward derivation eliminates permanent liability.

  • •Duplicated facts across databases and prose drift independently; neither self-corrects
  • •Derived data auto-heals when sources update; hand-written claims require permanent maintenance
  • •Verify facts against external sources only—internal consistency is not verification

Generated with AI, which can make mistakes.
