This is one thing that I think YouTube gets right. Once a video has been posted and comments have been posted, liked, etc, you cannot change that video in any form. This is on the premise of avoid bait-n-switch to put of a video to garner the positive response and then swapping it out with a different video. Amazon should do something similar.
I don't thunk that would work with physical objects very well. Especially when recalls are done via serial number. Apparent identical physical objects are always fundamentally different from each other unlike data.
