Date 2008-12-05 · publication Records dated 2008 → Wording attested 2013. Wording checked in the MIRI compilation of 2013, which prints the post under the heading 5 December 2008; the 2008 posting was not retrieved, so the cross-family re-check of 2026-11-02 compares the compilation’s date. Role Earliest located Register (kind of text) Nonfiction Scope and limits The same post allows that, for extremely destructive creatures, a project might not internalise all losses, so there might be grounds for wider regulation. Earliest located means the earliest text found by the collection’s searches and the cross-family re-check of 2026-11-02, not a first statement.
