THE WORD.
A date is not a manuscript. A quotation is not a facsimile. Every historical occurrence must disclose what was actually seen, where it lives, and how precisely it can be found again.
A primary image was checked and precisely located.
Repeatable logs of what the image itself proves.
A secondary source reports the date or form.

THE PROMOTION RULE
FROM REPORT TO OBJECT
A dictionary, corpus, or study reports a form or first-use date. Useful—but not the underlying object.
A manuscript, inscription, printed book, periodical, newspaper, or playbill preserves the occurrence.
Repository, shelfmark, page or folio, quoted form, and stable facsimile link make the inspection repeatable.
An editor checks the image itself and records only what that object proves—never more.
