Knowledge editing is evaluated on whether the edited fact changed, whether paraphrases follow, and whether unrelated answers stayed put. A model can pass all three and still lose something none of them measures: the ability to decide, on facts that were never edited, which retrieved documents to believe. We score the log odds a model assigns to its remembered answer against the answer an injected passage asserts, before and after editing, holding the query, the passage and both candidate strings fixed. Our cleanest arm is a conservatively tuned LoRA: after 1,000 sequential edits on Qwen2.5-7B-
