An r/artificial thread (97 upvotes, 51 comments) popularized the term: in a long conversation, when a model states something wrong and you correct it, both the error and the correction stay in context, and the wrong claim keeps influencing downstream generation. Not novel to practitioners, but naming it changes how users describe degraded long-session behavior. The practical read is that fresh sessions beat in-place correction, and it's an argument for the compaction-forcing env var above.
