MDPE.18:7 - Consequences

Benefit	Cost or caution
Attribution, reconstruction, teaching, and restoration can proceed without invented certainty.	Sources and claim limits must be maintained.
Different lineage dimensions remain visible.	The result may be a network or several partial relations rather than one simple story.
Records no longer stand in for embodied Methods or living practice.	Representative Work and specialist inquiry may still be needed.
Informal and practitioner cultures are not erased by institutional source bias.	Expert estimates require a stated basis, epistemic status, and uncertainty.
New evidence reopens only dependent claims.	Source-to-claim tracing costs more than copying a received narrative.
