  Good exposition is willing to say things that are a little bit wrong and fix them later, which is exactly what a crowd-sourced encyclopedia edits out.

  Their words

  And I think a good exposition you care a little bit less about like correctness on the way, but you can like deliberately craft things that are a little bit wrong that you correct along the way that gets like edited out in a crowd source environment.

  But now with Claude Code on my VPS in the last year, it just live edits on my production server, which sounds like it should go wrong but it just doesn't, it's very careful and only twice in 12 months messed up which meant my site didn't load for 10 seconds which is OK

  Timestamps cannot order access-control decisions in a decentralised system, because the user whose access was revoked can simply forge them.

  Their words

  if a revoked user still wants to, say, vandalize a document, they can just backdate their edits, give it an earlier timestamp. So, relying on clocks is absolutely useless here because people can forge the timestamps from those clocks and thereby then potentially undermine the access control mechanism.
