Why Principles Outlast Tactics
Tactics work until conditions change. Principles adapt because they're based on underlying truths, not surface patterns.
What was corrected
Article cited two real, verifiable studies with statistics that were garbled or narrowed from their actual published figures.
Corrected the Prasad et al. statistics to the real study's actual funnel (2,044 total, 363 tested an established practice, 146 or 40.2 percent were reversals); corrected de Solla Price's doubling-time range to his real 10-15 years.
Why this is better
Geoffrey Stone's Perilous Times citation on First Amendment doctrine verified as accurate.
