“The antiquity of hyperthermophiles fits in with the plausible hypothesis of impact frustration of the origin of life (Maher and Stevenson 1988; Sleep et al. 1989), for which, however, there is no geological evidence.”

“Similar considerations show that the growth of organisms at 250°C or 350°C and the origin of life at such temperatures (Corliss et al. 1981) are very unlikely (White 1984; Miller and Bada 1988 ).”

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.
