What happens when a record turns out to be wrong
An archive you can edit is an archive somebody can edit. The fix has to leave a mark.

137 events sit in the resolution ledger behind 126 records, and 6 records carry a correction.
None of them replaced anything. The original wording is still the original wording, and the correction sits beside it.
Why not just fix it
Because the value of a record is that it cannot be changed after the outcome is known. An archive that silently corrects itself gives no way to tell a genuine fix from a convenient one, and you would have to take the operator's word for which it was.
Appending costs the page some tidiness. It buys the only thing the page is for.
What a reader should check
Whether the correction came before or after the deadline, and whether it changed the wording or the test. A test edited after the answer was known is the one that should worry you, and the ledger is what makes it visible.
Every claim here is checkable.
The exact words, the source and its date, the test fixed before the outcome, and what happened when it landed.
