The later note gives the retained piece a specific point of comparison: the simplification the writer was criticizing in his subject also entered his own reporting. The admission changes the reader’s task without claiming that the flaw has been repaired.
The audit supplies particular things to inspect in the essay that follows, rather than treating later self-criticism as a general performance of humility. It also keeps attribution and the adequacy of a comparison from collapsing into the same kind of defect.
The passage moves through linked conditions and comes back to the original unit of explanation. Its force as exposition comes from the interactions made visible, not from replacing one total explanation with another unsupported label.
Reviewed examples have a source-linked editorial interpretation. Detected candidates are exact passages or structures retrieved by an explicit rule and still need interpretation. Neither label establishes a cause of bestseller longevity. No missing text is counted as a negative example.
