Wigley (1978) wrote that the average reader of The Climatic Threat cannot possibly know how incompletely the author reviews the field, how uncritical and selective his references are, how much he mixed sound work with controversial opinion and speculation, and how often cautious words are represented as established fact.
“Wigley (1978) wrote that the average reader 'cannot possibly know how incompletely the author reviews the field he discusses, how uncritical and selective are his references to the scientific literature, how much he has mixed sound well accepted work with controversial opinion and speculation, and how often the cautious, tentative words of others are represented as established fact.'”

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.
