What if your correction renders subsequent events nonsensical?
1 comments

There is a very real chance of this happening, and two choices.

One - bake whatever happens into your system permanently, like 99% of all apps, and disallow corrections.

Two - keep the events around so that you can check and re-check your corrections before you check in new code or data.
