Correctionwelcome
Credit corrections that hold, including those that challenge favoured people or positions
Definition
Mechanism
A group records useful corrections and credits the person who made them, including when the correction challenges a favoured person, position or earlier decision. Whether a correction holds is assessed before the standing of its target is considered; a correction is Feedback about the work, not a move against its author.
Invariants

- Whether a correction holds is decided before the standing of its target is considered.
