Ask yourself if @WVPitt is being honest. Links to both papers and the @GeoffVScott + @pactuminstitute video where they first discuss that original paper had one false citation and false accusation. I had Claude check. 34 substantive edits. Every citation I checked, was completely fabricated.
I didn't check all of them. Feel free to do so.
Summary
Version 1 ("10_Moderator_Committee_Kinism.pdf") — 29 pages
Version 2 ("Kinism Special Committee of Synod 2026 Report.pdf") — 28 pages
The second version is a later revision: footnotes have been renumbered upward (e.g. fn 2 → fn 4 in the early pages, fn 60 → fn 62 by the end), text has been re-flowed, and the page footer was changed everywhere. Two new sourcing footnotes were inserted at the top, so every later footnote slides by two.
Systemic / mechanical differences
Page footer text changed on every body page — "Special Committee of Synod on Kinism Index 10" → "Special Committee of Synod on Kinism Index Number XX Page Number" (a placeholder; the indexer hasn't been filled in yet). ~24 page footers affected.
Total page count: 29 → 28, because text reflowed more tightly.
Footnote numbering shifts by +2 through most of the paper (two new footnotes were added on p. 4).
Substantive prose changes (34 distinct edits)
Editorial / wording:
"former U.S. based reconstructionists" → "U.S. based former reconstructionists"
"in Grace Presbytery, Michael Hunter and Eric Hancox" → "in Grace Presbytery: Michael Hunter and Eric Hancox" (comma → colon)
"daughter of Pharoah. The latter two being" → "daughter of Pharoah, the latter two being" (period → comma)
"as Kinism is not as clear and relatable" → "as Kinism. How that is is not as clear and relatable" (sentence break + added clause)
"Linnaeus is positively cited by the Kinist Pactum Institute where Michael Hunter, Bret McAtee, and Michael Spangler are fellows" → "This kind of enthno-nationalism which marks nations into ethnic silos is positively encouraged by the Kinist Pactum Institute where Michael Hunter, Bret McAtee, and Michael Spangler are fellows"
"Dabney fully understood he was a target of Woodrow's pamphlet" → "Dabney had tussled with Woodrow many times"
"It is also worth noting that the post-war PCUS sided with Girardeau over and against Dabney" → "Sadly the post-war PCUS did not go with the stream advocated by John Adger and others"
"Robert Mackenzie takes apart the sloppy use of this letter" → "Nathan Ristuccia takes apart the sloppy use of this letter" (and "Mackenzie notes" → "Ristuccia notes")
"no supporter of the segregation found in the American South" → "no supporter of the type of segregation found in the American South"
"Though some demur from the idea that Morton Smith, for example, actually agreed…for their purpose." →
"Though some demur from the idea that Morton Smith and others, for example, actually agreed…for their purpose and a better picture of the times is worth consulting."
Deleted sentence (p. 17 of v1): "In fact, Christ had Ammonite blood as well, since Naamah, the mother of Rehoboam, was an Ammonite (1 Kings 14:21)." — removed entirely from v2.

In total: roughly 34 substantive content edits plus the systemic footer/page-count/footnote-numbering changes. The most consequential are the 19 citation swaps (different authors, dates, books, or articles), the one deleted sentence about Rehoboam's Ammonite mother, and the rewording about post-war PCUS / Adger vs. Girardeau. The footer placeholder ("Index Number XX Page Number") shows v2 is still pre-publication.
