I recall three in depth conversations about particular Epoch products. None of them led to a substantive change in publication and content.
OTOH I can think of at least three instances where we decided to not pursue projects or we edited some information out of an article guided by considerations like “we may not want to call attention about this topic”.
In general I think we are good at preempting when something might be controversial or could be presented in a less conspicuous framing, and acting on it.
Cool, that’s what I expected; I was just surprised by your focus in the above comment on intervening after something had already been written and on the intervention being don’t publish rather than edit.

Why’d you strong-downvote?
That´s a good point—I expect most of these discussions to lead to edits rather than publications.
I downvoted because 1) I want to discourage more conversation on the topic and 2) I think its bad policy to ask organizations if they have any projects they decided to keep secret (because if its true they might have to lie about it)
In hindsight I think I am overthinking this, and I retracted my downvotes on this thread of comments.
