Comfort
More about "version"
Authors of printed journal articles typically do not have the option of
updating or revising their work, but it is quite feasible to do so in an
electronic journal. I take great comfort in this fact because there are
many times I've wished to retract or qualify statements made in a published
article, but I've had no mechanism to do so. It is discomforting to know
that one's ill-conceived or at least underdeveloped ideas cannot be modified
and are still fair game to be cited by others, thus perpetuating their
negative valence.
