“It is generally assumed that each individual is characterized by how he or she discounts future outcomes as a function of their delay, with those we can call ‘more patient’ demonstrating it by their greater willingness to take larger-later rewards over smaller-sooner ones (Mischel, Shoda & Peake, 1988; Strotz 1955 ).”

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.
