The present is the key to the past - if we think about it.
Cameras / videos record the past, provide opportunity for the viewer to form history, but do not explain the reasoning for past activity.
In war, the victors, survivors, write history and define war crimes.
Hindsight, a powerful bias, particularly with visual records, enables those viewing to invent missing data (other's reasoning), applying inferred context, and then define this as true 'information'.
The greater the power in recording enables similar great power in mistaken analysis and opportunity for inappropriate intervention, which could destabilise the current balance of safety activities, and never assures perfection in understanding others' point of view.
The present is the key to the past - only if we think about it.
"There is a rather touching faith in the magical ability of technology to solve problems in a way which turns a mess into a mere difficulty. This belief is particularly widespread amongst decision makers who do not understand the technology. It is also complicated by the false belief that expertise in one area enables that expert to offer informed advice across a whole range of domains where they do not have the necessary know-how.
Modern technology induces a kind of techno-paralysis, whereby the victim suspends all sense of reason when dealing with it. Yet technology, no matter how sophisticated, is just a tool. It is not magic and will not automatically evolve towards a state where it will comprehensively address an ill-defined mess. Policy makers, however, rarely seem to understand this. The computer on its own cannot rectify an ill-defined 'digital' (binary, linear, thinking) decision making (DDM) mess. " Ray Corrigan
