Earlier estimates of low temperatures (<150°C) based on oxygen isotopes may have been confounded by later contamination, but the salient message is that early Earth was covered by water.
“Earlier estimates of low temperatures (<150 • C), based on isotopic analyses of oxygen isotopes the zircons (Wilde et al. 2001), may have been confounded by later contamination of the oxygen isotopic history of the zircons (Valley et al. 2014) but the salient message is that, quite early in the history of the Earth, the planet was covered by water.”

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.
