Verification

Claims the paper makes

We couldn’t retrieve this paper’s full text, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Overstated claims can occasionally accelerate progress, by provoking methodological reform or rapid follow-up work.

    “overstated claims can occasionally accelerate progress, by provoking methodological reform or rapid follow-up work, as in the Cowles Foundation's econometric contributions or the LK-99, ESP and cold-fusion episodes 80-82”

    From Quantifying the prevalence and impact of overreaching causal claims in social science (2026) · cites this paper as [80]

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.
