I had a horrid thought a wee while back that basically revolved around the necessity of checking EVERY input with human-derived first principles, because as soon as computers/etc are involved, observations could conceivably be modified by external forces.It could quite possibly be that every observation we've ever had that didn't come straight through optics and into the human eye could have been modified, rendering much of what we think we know from the past few dozen years garbage/lies.
I then wondered about the extrapolations of this conceit, thinking that perhaps some monastic order of intital proof be set up to check as manually as possible with analogue tools,. which obviously gets a bit complex.
Clearly a bit derived from Liu Cixin's Three Body Problem, ithout the space priests.
Anyway suffice to say, perhaps Voyager's been telling porkies for as long as it's been out there.

The engineering team with NASA’s Voyager 1 spacecraft is trying to solve a mystery: The interstellar explorer is operating normally, receiving and executing commands from Earth, along with gathering and returning science data. But readouts from the probe’s attitude articulation and control system (AACS) don’t reflect what’s actually happening onboard.
The AACS controls the 45-year-old spacecraft’s orientation. Among other tasks, it keeps Voyager 1’s high-gain antenna pointed precisely at Earth, enabling it to send data home. All signs suggest the AACS is still working, but the telemetry data it’s returning is invalid. For instance, the data may appear to be randomly generated, or does not reflect any possible state the AACS could be in.
