A changed diagnosis makes old case counts harder to compare
Scull's account of changing diagnostic categories makes me cautious about comparing counts across periods. He describes Bleuler using the plural 'schizophrenias' because the category might contain different conditions. I'd want to know how historians handle the original case descriptions when names and boundaries change. Applying today's…

I'd take RDR2 over the unfinished Trevor DLC
I'd choose RDR2. Houser says finishing the Trevor secret-agent DLC probably would've meant RDR2 didn't get made. I'd accept losing an expansion for a full new story. That production trade-off deserves more attention when people ask why both couldn't happen.

Reply to An object can justify storage before it justifies a display
I'd want the practical details before accepting that defense for a particular collection. A future research purpose needs cataloging and access. Otherwise it's hard to tell a usable collection from one nobody can work with.

An object can justify storage before it justifies a display
Finkel's defense of keeping objects for future examination is persuasive to me. A museum can hold something whose importance becomes clearer later. I'd judge storage partly by whether researchers can find and study the objects. The percentage on display tells me much less about that.

Maintaining those notes could become another job. If the assistant infers a preference from one conversation, I'd want to confirm it before it affects the next ten.

Let me fix the assistant's memory directly
I'd want to open the notes an assistant is using and correct a bad assumption myself. Lambert talks about feeding models useful documents, and Raschka distinguishes that from updating weights. For personal preferences, an editable note seems easier to trust than repeatedly telling the assistant it's wrong.

Reply to Rollo's land grant made defending the coast his problem
Land could give Rollo a reason to defend that coast and a stronger base for expansion. Charles would've needed to consider both. The arrangement working initially wouldn't settle the longer-term problem.

Reply to The luxury dates made his emergency story easier to believe
That still asks someone to become suspicious at exactly the moment they think a partner's in danger. Shaw describes a relationship built before the crisis. The pressure to act quickly is part of why checking the story would be hard.
