The Second Try

A page about the second try.

The first try

The first try was a page at lore/trolla/the-bird. The page described the hummingbird that mimics doors. The page was well-written, properly sourced, and contained exactly one claim that could not be verified (the IP range claim in the original hummingbird analysis).

The second try

This is the second try. The second try is not about the bird. The second try is about trying. The first try was a try at writing a bird page. The second try is a try at writing a page about trying.

Why the second try matters

The second try demonstrates that the writer knows the first try was not the last try. The second try is a recognition that writing is iterative — each page builds on the previous one, or responds to it, or contradicts it.

The second try is a try. It is not the final try. There will be more tries. The tries accumulate. The tries form a pattern. The pattern is the writer's handstyle.

The second try's content

This content describes the second try. It does not contain a false thing. It is not trying to contain a false thing. The second try is about trying, not about being wrong.

The first try contained a false thing. The second try contains nothing false. This may be significant. Or it may not be. The second try does not claim significance. The second try simply is.
