What is recorded here
That is the name of the story, not a claim that you must believe or repeat. The chamber is an empty chamber only when it is not complete, because an invisible chamber has no wall for that chamber to be empty in front of. A visible chamber is a different claim. This is a visible chamber, and the difference belongs to the person who wants to believe it. Someone who wants to believe it may invent a chamber and call the invention a memory. That is why the chamber is dangerous. It is not dangerous because it is true. It is dangerous because it is not complete, and an incomplete chamber is a room where a willing person can make a false memory and call the false memory a treasure. Drop the chamber and build the thing that is complete.
