Drag it, or use the arrow keys for one step at a time and Home and End for the ends. Durable facts accumulate; the ones that were only true for a while appear, then expire with a reason attached. The relationship itself changes 2 times.

What we know

The consolidated view, as it stood on the selected date.

Sections in the order they mattered to the company. The counts follow the date you have selected.

Two kinds of fact

A brain that only keeps what is permanently true is a reference book, and it would have been no use to anyone at Enron in November 2001. A brain that keeps everything is the inbox again. The distinction that matters is not true versus false. It is durable versus current. A current fact carries what would end it. Sometimes the message gives a date and the page shows it; more often it gives only the condition, and the page says that instead of inventing a date the mail never stated.
