06 · EDITION AND WITNESS COMPARISON
How the evidence for The Ten Victory Sites changes
The date of a document and the date of an interpretation are recorded separately.| Witness or edition | Date | Editorial status | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|---|
| Encyclopedia of Korean Culture | Late Joseon onward | Baseline source | Lists vary across texts and should not be treated as modern emergency plans. |
| Scholarly or institutional interpretation | Later review | Context layer | Explains language, history and uncertainty without becoming the original text. |
| Viral quotation or modern event match | Recent circulation | Derivative layer | Most vulnerable to translation drift, omitted failures and hindsight; compare with Encyclopedia of Korean Culture. |

Comparison with events

Where interpretation changes
The main dispute concerns the distance between Late Joseon onward and Textual lists · migration practice · tourism and survivalism. Translation, selective quotation, changed definitions and hindsight can make a broad record appear more exact than it was. Competing readings are therefore preserved rather than silently merged.10 · EVIDENCE SCORE & PROVISIONAL CONCLUSION
