ME.21:5.2 - A changed source does not erase a former result

Later, H is available only as excerpts. The retained dossier contains merely a locator for the argument used by the allocation, and a new receiving use requires checking that argument. Return that recheck as unavailable and lower the dependent use. Preserve the earlier result with its historical basis, L’s independently supported condition and unrelated allocations. Reopen only what relied on the missing argument.

If the complete argument had already been preserved with a suitable basis, loss of current website access alone would not establish that the earlier claim was wrong.
