In the citing paper
“(b) As Butterfield (2011) argues, in his campaign against pointillisme, not all classical physical quantities are defined at a point (where 'defined at a point' is here taken in the sense of Lewis' (1986a: pp. ix-xvi; 1994) Humean supervenience).”

In the citing paper
“In particular, boundaries and quasi-local energy and momentum are as admissible in general relativity as they are in classical mechanics: 'continuum mechanics embraces spatial extrinsicality due to surface forces, acting at a point, with respect to a surface through that point (see Butterfield, 2011: pp. 354, 356; my emphasis).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
