What readers said was wrong, and what came of it
The essays judge an institution by whether the people it gets wrong can make it change, and this page holds the archive to the same test. Any essay can be contested, and every contest is listed here with an answer within 30 days: the essay was fixed, it stands and the answer says why, or the passage was withdrawn.
No contests yet. The log opened on October 6, 2026, and an empty page means only that no one has filed one. Changes the archive made on its own are in each essay's version history, and the calls it got wrong are on the record.
How to contest an essay
Use the line at the foot of any essay, which opens a message that already names it, or write to kanav@kanav.net. Say which sentence or claim, and what is wrong with it: a fact, a source that does not say what the essay says it does, a step that does not follow, or a case the argument cannot account for. Disagreeing with a conclusion counts when it names the step it rejects.
The log quotes the contested sentence and the objection as filed. It names you only if you say it may; otherwise you are listed as a reader.
How the log is kept
A contest is listed when it arrives, before it is answered, so a slow answer shows. Past 30 days it moves to the top as overdue, counted from the date it was filed. An answer, once given, is not reworded later; a change of mind is a new entry. A fixed essay keeps its earlier text in its version history, where the size of the change is listed.
