Wisdom Infrastructure · Card 09 of 10
The error is the join
The one card here that names a place rather than denying an equivalence. Partial corrections sitting alongside old content create two competing meanings — often more dangerous than no correction at all.
The reasoning
Fixing three parts of five and leaving two untouched doesn't produce a smaller error. It produces a document that now contradicts itself — which is harder to trust than one that was simply wrong throughout, because the reader can no longer tell which parts to believe.
In practice
A pricing page is updated for one product line but not two related ones. A reader can no longer tell whether the old prices are stale or the new one is a mistake — the correction has made the whole page less trustworthy than before it was touched.
Citing this card. This page is the canonical address for Card 09. Link directly to it rather than to the full doctrine page when referencing this specific reflex.
