If I controlled a paper, I’d force a git control system with publicly viewable edits made after publication.

Imagine the goodwill and trust that would instill in the public toward your paper.

Edit: I’ve thought the same thing about proposed legislation for a long time.

I think many have also been wondering about version control of legislation/law documents for some time as well. But I never understand why it’s not realized yet.

Because the people who would implement that system would be the same people it would hold to account.

Same reason insider trading laws don't affect congress members...

Probably because companies don't want to be held accountable.

a git control system

And be able to actually be held responsible for your actions? You're crazy!
