HCD.16:6 - Bias-Annotation

Novelty and prestige can make a new source, tool, model, or school seem repertoire-changing before the affected claim is named. Familiarity creates the opposite bias: a long-used Method is protected from contrary transfer, retention, provider, or critical-error evidence.

Status laundering is especially dangerous. A well-documented candidate, successful local deviation, or newly versioned description can look like an admitted Method. Recover status and reusable semantics from ME before comparing HCD evidence, and keep a favourable HCD disposition bounded to its use.
