If you occasionally revisit my older posts, you will find changes almost every time you return. Changes both large and small.
Frequently I think of an improved way to explain or expand something; of course.
But I also make changes to correct my errors- facts, information, assumptions, analyses and conclusions I feel I had gotten wrong.
An error may look like an easy trick- maybe I'm purposely misrepresenting people, to sway my audience?
However, anyone keeping track of my corrections, will see that usually I've altered my posts to improve someone's reputation; no matter who. If I misrepresent anyone, I cannot respect my own reporting.
That is why I spend time each week or two, to read over my most challenging blogs, looking for these mistakes.
Over time I come to understand certain things differently than I did at the time. Or I look something up again, and decide I misrepresented it.
Rikers Island State Penitentiary, NY where Raphael Golb, the son of an academic rival, could be sentenced to 4 years. . . . . .for certain emails that he sent perhaps hoping to "obtain a benefit" or perhaps hoping to "annoy," by parodying a professor; And email accounts he opened -including many he never used; And for a name he invented; And for perhaps hoping the professor might not get $650. [But which the professor got.] |
