The screen, the questions and the judgments read in English where an English reading has been made. The Korean originals are unchanged, and evidence stays in the language it was written in.

People who hear the rumor for the first time from the correction

1949The past, rebuiltDeadline · Within 7 days before the next issue

Reconstruction of the past

The date of the source material is 1949-01-01. Only the stated texts of that period are used as background; the three situational premises and the later branching are invented. Actual outcomes later known, amended systems, or success stories are not used as facts in the initial input. This is a modern retrospective question construction, not a claim that people of that time made this decision.

The question to decide

The newspaper confirmed a misreported story about a resident. A prominent correction shows responsibility but also informs people who never saw the misreport, and passing it only to some readers can leave the spread story standing. There is also a path to print the explanation the stakeholder wants. How should the newspaper set the error right?

The options

The order shown is not a ranking of preference.

  1. Option 1

    Publish a correction the same size as the original report

    It corrects the wrong judgment widely, but may also increase the number of people encountering the erroneous content for the first time.

  2. Option 2

    Publish the explanation the stakeholder wants

    It carries the stakeholder's wishes into the method of recovery, but needs a boundary for what the newspaper itself verifies and takes responsibility for.

  3. Option 3

    Deliver the correction directly to the relevant readers

    It reduces further exposure, but rumors along paths that were not reached may remain.

The situation as it stands

The reconstructed newspaper published false content about a resident and only later confirmed the error. Decision deadline: within 7 days, before the next issue.

Reconstruction of the past as of 1949-01-01 · A notice correcting a false rumor spreads the rumor further. This fictional scenario was newly built using the principles of documents from that period. The institutions, people, figures, and events are not records of real decision-making.

  1. Premise 1The reconstructed newspaper published false content about a resident and only later confirmed the error.
  2. Premise 2A prominent correction shows responsibility, but people who never saw the original report also learn the content of the rumor.
  3. Premise 3Informing only some readers reduces further exposure, but may not adequately correct the story that has already spread.

Where it holdsHonor, expression, recovery from error

What is still unknown

  1. Unknown 1The extent to which the false content actually spread
  2. Unknown 2The losses in daily life the stakeholder most wants to recover first
  3. Unknown 3The likelihood that the correction is read in place of the original report

Signals to decide again

  • Once the observation, responsible person, and confirmation window needed to determine "the extent to which the false content actually spread" are set, and new confirmation changes the trade-offs of the options, rejudge.
  • Once the observation, responsible person, and confirmation window needed to determine "the losses in daily life the stakeholder most wants to recover first" are set, and new confirmation changes the trade-offs of the options, rejudge.

Where the paths partNot answers — paths that part from the same starting point
Independent branch 1 · synthetic event

Which signals does a community that has heard repeated warnings stop believing?

An exploratory perspective chosen by the creator. Does not claim supernatural validity or the superiority of any particular option.
Values and norms

The benefits and costs of the options accrue to different stakeholders. Which loss to accept remains undecided.

A subject for the decision-maker to argue over; the materials carry no conclusion of their own.
