Captions available
The idea
Meaning does not live in a bit string — it lives in the declared type, and the same bits under two types are two different values with equal confidence.
In practice
A ledger and a photo could share a byte run and disagree completely about it.
Where people slip
Confidence in a reading is not evidence of the reading.
