In many Lunar regolith simulants such as JSC-1, BP-1, and GRC-1, the bulk material properties were prioritized over mineralogical accuracy by modifying composition and particle size distribution until the desired physical properties were achieved.
“For example, in many Lunar regolith simulants such as JSC-1, BP-1, and GRC-1, the bulk material properties were prioritized over mineralogical accuracy by modifying composition and particle size distribution until the desired physical properties were achieved [35,36].”

Past simulants, particularly lunar ones, have been plagued by a lack of quality control.
“However, past simulants (particularly lunar ones) have been plagued by a lack of quality control (Taylor et al., 2016).”

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.
