The key thing to remember when reading this blog post is that it is for
archivists who are also working as records managers. The post assumes a lot
of things not in evidence with regards to how records managers operate. I
would say it is more likely that an archivist would be the one to "identify
classes of documents that might cause harm.." considering the volume of
records (physical and digital) I don't believe that RMs have the time to
look for such documentation. A more likely scenario is that the creator
will be the one to do the destruction.
