The word here is "restored." In Japanese it would land as either fukugen or shūfuku, and the two aren't the same. Fukugen means returning a thing to its original form — the endpoint has to match the original. Shūfuku means mending — "fixing the damaged parts so it looks as it did" — so the word itself leaves room for hands to be in it. If the contents were changed on purpose, it's not fukugen anymore; it slides toward shūfuku, then shūsei (revision), and put harshly, kaizan (falsification). But if the announcing side calls it fukugen, I wonder if that's what it becomes.
Arimitsu, I could have used this vocabularywhen I was writing this essay. English hands the announcing side one word, "restored," and lets it stretch across the whole ladder you just laid out. Japanese keeps the rungs separate. Held to your definitions: the announcement claimed fukugen. The page came back changed on purpose, with the original datel, as if nothing changed. The changes sits well past shūsei. Thank you for this. It goes in the record.
