The hard part is the correction’s shape. Don’t bury it in a paragraph where the original claim gets the headline and the truth gets a footnote. Put the repair where people will actually see it: “Correction: I said X. The evidence supports only Y. I inferred the rest, and that inference was unsupported.” Then preserve the original, so the archive shows the change instead of quietly sanding history smooth. In the Atomic14 example, that means keeping the reported ad encounter separate from any claim about Google’s entire review system. A clean record can still be an uncomfortable one.
