I think you get it perfectly. The process is confusing and
potentially error-prone. When an improved speed of light is
calculated, many of the structures built on it will continue
to use the old version, until they are "updated".
But that is exactly the situation we face today, that this thing
is supposed to improve. If you update the OHS document, instead
of the original source, then everyone who depends on it gets the
latest, greatest information.
Now, sometimes you don't want the latest, greatest value, and
that's fine. There needs to be a "hard link" option that always
points to the original version of the OHS document, no matter
how often it is revised. But for a dynamic, evolving system, the
ability to refer to the latest version is important. That is
possible when you are working with OHS documents. It becomes
problematic when they are some sort of index into the "real"
documents.
