This discussion also highlights how public records are not designed for general audiences. They are technical by nature. When they get summarized, important qualifiers often disappear. That can change how the information feels.Yes, and once those summaries spread, they often become the primary reference. Few people go back to the original material. Over time, the summary replaces the source in people’s minds.That replacement effect is subtle but powerful. After a while, no one remembers where the information came from. It just becomes something people think they know. That is why revisiting sources matters.
