Why this slice belongs here
Myth and Misreading is broader than a shelf, but narrower than the whole vault.
A myth collection should make the record harder to flatten and the temptation to flatten it easier to see.

Framing Before Facts (14 shared files)
This is the collection for stories that spread because they are neat, moral, memorable, or classroom-ready. The archive keeps the curiosity but separates the satisfying explanation from the better-supported one.
Myth pressure is part of language history too. The false story matters because it reveals what kind of explanation people want to repeat. WORD DRIFT treats that desire calmly, without rewarding it with fake certainty.
Framing Before Facts currently shares 14 files with this collection, which means the slice is already hardening into a more deliberate shelf argument without losing its broader browse value.
