I think you misunderstand what's happening.  The commentary sent to 
Retiarius is preserved in a file, untouched.  That record is always 
available.  Then Retiarius makes a new report, using that subset of the 
commentary that is germane to her report.  That report is posted to the 
web, for use by the kingdom.  No falsifying of records is going on.

This is no different from preserving a receipt that has the name of the 
store, the date of purchase, the amount of puchase, the tax, the time 
stamp, the cash register # and "Have a nice day!" on it, but only putting 
the amount of purchase in the financial report.
