I think they do have meaning on an objective factual level. e.g. If
the NYT gets a birthdate wrong and this error is perpetuated, that
doesn't make it right however well cited it is.

But that's a detail, not the point. Is there a formulation of what I
said (the necessity of immediatism, the lack of the luxury of
eventualism) that you'd agree with?
