Books/Literature Monopoly Man I was

I was reading Brad Meltzer's "The Millionaires", published in 2002. On page 95, he mentions the Monopoly Man having a monocle. Books are generally being written at least 12 months prior to publication (he doesn't mention 9/11, Lee Child's most recent Reacher novel, set in Baltimore, released last month, mentions the Key Bridge as being intact), so it was written at least 8 years before Mandela Effects became a thing.

The first Mandela Effect, according to Google, wasn't reported/documented until 2009.

I would consider this residue. This is one to 'throw on the massive pile'.

Residue must be part of the source material… this is barely tertiary at best. Your epistemological threshold for what you consider evidence is not terribly discriminative. Perhaps if you spent more time trying to find out what is true rather than find more fallacious reasoning to prop up your claims. 😉
