Who Belongs in the Family?
Abstract
I was sitting before my TV set, a while back, watching Captain Video and pondering the organizational problems of psychologists, psychometricians, psychodiagnosticians, psycho-somatists, psychosomnabulists, and psychoceramics (crack-pots to you). Wondering what I might do, in my small way, to help out, I decided to enlist Captain Video's help to bring me from the Black Planet that superogalactian hypermetrician, Dr. Idnozs Hcahscror-Tenib, cosmos-famous discoverer of Serutan. Why delay? The Galaxy was on its way. and in half a light year Dr. Tenib was at my side prepared to devote his gargantuan talents to the task. Seeing no point in confusing the good doctor by trying to describe to him the present administrative hodgepodge, I said, “Doctor, let's start from scratch. I want you to find out for me how these good people who are present at the annual meeting of the APA structure themselves? What families are represented? How many, or better, how few? And who belongs to each?”

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.
