> The world view gets more accurate over time

Is that true? I can imagine it's true at first, going from zero bits of information to 1, etc. But information rots over time, and eventually a collection of old information may rot faster than new information improves the world view.

Also, the overall world view isn't especially important, at least not in this case. Each element's accuracy is what's important.

Hopefully each tag is accompanied by a date, at least.
