⚠ 517a — and the app's one liberty

Plato's sentence is plain: if they could lay hands on the man who was trying to release them and lead them up, would they not kill him? He wrote it having watched Athens kill his teacher. The walk-in keeps the line as [REF] text and does not stage it. The rehearsal ends with the freed man reaching a hand toward someone still chained.

The one place this app knowingly departs from its source, and it says so out loud. The argument for the edit: Tehiru blesses and never curses, and a room a person walks into in their own body should not end by killing them. The argument against it, which the pack keeps: the danger is the point — Plato is saying truth-telling has a price that was paid in his lifetime, and softening it makes the story braver than it is. Both are true. The edit is labelled everywhere it appears, so a reader can put the killing back.
