Dates, hours, and minutes are usually background noise, until accuracy itself becomes part of the inquiry.

There is no error in noticing late, only in pretending it didn’t happen.

Correction is not revisionism; it is presence returning to itself.

This moment does not undo what came before it; it situates it more honestly.

Inquiry does not require perfection, only willingness to adjust without defensiveness.

So this stands as it is, a recalibration, not a retreat.
