   A core fallacy of technologists is to conflate an approximation of a thing with the thing itself.

   This is particularly harmful when the thing in question happens to be a human being.

     @aral even worse when it is just records that may or may not point correctly towards something someone might have done.

     We're just talking about approximations of things that have a possible indexical relationship.
