A dated copy is confused with the invention date

A fictional catalog describes a surviving dated woodblock scroll and calls its date the first day printing existed anywhere. Another entry assumes that every later movable-type book must have displaced all woodblock production and that a famous compilation was necessarily printed rather than hand-copied. The physical binding has been repaired, but the catalog treats its present appearance as unchanged original evidence. No artifact is handled or altered in this exercise. Separate what the object, record and later history can establish, explain the difference between earliest surviving dated evidence and invention and identify why material, format, edition and provenance must support the claim.
