"Chesterton's Fence":

There exists in such a case a certain institution or law; let us say, for the sake of simplicity, a fence or gate erected across a road. The more modern type of reformer goes gaily up to it and says, “I don’t see the use of this; let us clear it away.” To which the more intelligent type of reformer will do well to answer: “If you don’t see the use of it, I certainly won’t let you clear it away. Go away and think. Then, when you can come back and tell me that you do see the use of it, I may allow you to destroy it.”

Chesterton’s Fence: A Lesson in Thinking

A core component of making great decisions is understanding previous decisions. If we don’t understand how we got “here,” we run the risk of making things much worse.

Did you ever make a really stupid mistake writing a book, only to find it months after publishing? I did. I meticulously research everything. I thought! But one thing got by me. My novel, The Fifth Seduction, is turning one this month, so I decided to reread it. I have a scene in it where global rock star Daniel Palmer tells a story about his early days with his band, when they were young, broke blokes in England. They'd pitch a tent on the outskirts of towns as they traveled for gigs, and one night a skunk wandered into their tent and sprayed them. When I reread that part a couple of days ago, I decided to look up whether there are skunks in England, because I hadn't looked into that when I wrote the book last year. I guess I assumed there were skunks in England. NOPE. No skunks in England, unless someone has one as a pet. (Okay, that's odd.) Luckily, England has POLECATS, which spray a horrible, gag-inducing odor, as skunks do, so I just rewrote my book. #rewrite #mistakes #research #skunks #polecats #writing #writer #editing #writersCoffeeClub #writers #mastodon #books #book #bookstodon #booksky #scribesAndMakers #authors #author #stupidity

This is similar to "license washing", which is already in fairly common use.

Ich gespannt, wie dieser sich anbahnende Rechtsstreit ausgeht. Falls ein #rewrite einer Software durch ein #LLM als rechtens angesehen wird, könnte es sein, dass das #copyright dadurch deutlich entwertet wird.

Turns out I wasn't done with this franchise yet

Pretty sure I will still return to it. Someday.
