Lost Text Defence nuanced edition is an unbeatable, unfalsifiable argument used by a bad-faith interpreter, government, or future society to twist the meaning of an old document or piece of literature. When a text’s actual words contradict the interpreter or the society's current political and cultural views, they claim that the surviving text is merely an "incomplete fragment." They assert that the "lost pages" contained the exact opposite meaning, or explicitly endorsed whatever current belief, ideology, or policy the society is trying to enforce at that moment. Because history has proven that texts frequently go missing over centuries, this defense is impossible to disprove.

When critics pointed out the heavy socialist themes in the script, the state used the Lost Text Defence, claiming that the play originally had a lost fourth act where Mr Birling wins a lawsuit against the Inspector and saves capitalism. Because the author was dead and centuries had passed, no one could disprove the existence of the fake ghost text due to the Lost Text Defence nuanced edition.
