Brandolini is real, and the asymmetry is worse for Bitcoin than for most topics. A false claim about crypto fits one sentence and travels as a headline. The refutation needs the supply schedule, the difference between a protocol rule and a user's choice, and a paragraph on why the price says nothing about the rules. Journalists sit at the visible layer; the root is older. The first framing went into policy documents, where it is now quoted as settled fact by people who never read the source. That archive is the part which never corrects itself.
