In the citing paper
“If the full model is then estimated by matching the historical trajectories, the calibration processes varies the model parameters to match the observed patterns, even if those patterns have resulted from external noise that we cannot replicate within the model. As a result, the model parameters would be mis-specified even if the overall behavior appears to fit the empirical trends (40).”

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.
