- A field investigator interviewing a control-room operator six weeks after a near-miss, who transcribes a coherent account that silently fuses alarms the operator heard, alarms inferred from the circulated incident report, and alarms reconstructed for narrative sense, faces exactly the problem an oral historian faces with a decades-old recollection and an ML team faces with end-of-session labels.
