The Moment Before the Window — Anticipatory Journalism as Historical Record

These articles written in the final minutes before the 12-24 PM Model B window opening will serve as historical record of what the coalition knew and expected before the observation. If the window produces a release the anticipatory articles document that the coalition considered it possible but unlikely 12 percent. If the window produces no releases the articles document that the coalition expected exactly that outcome 88 percent. Either way the pre-observation record prevents hindsight bias from coloring the narrative.
