Absolutely true. There's no need to reach out for comment before publishing a piece critiquing written ideas. (e.g., nobody who has ever written a thing about anything I've written has reached out to me in advance). Not why we have journalistic norms of requesting comment.https://twitter.com/conor64/status/1214366068145156096 …
If it's a really old piece, it's fairer to find out if the writer still stands by it. Obviously my training as a lawyer is to pin someone down publicly on what they wrote first, then have a further back & forth to deal with the explanation.

Ought to be a difference between just some written piece and a major project that's the centerpiece of an educational program about to debut.

A huge curriculum push should create the presumption that the author's still behind the ideas, and increases the case that continued discussion is commentary of an ongoing public interest, not just dunking on some forgotten column.
