“…region has been part of important migration routes for several species of whales, which not only have strong cultural values for the population in the Pacific region (Flood et al., 1999; Creason, 2004; Firestone and Lilley, 2007) but also globally for activities such as whale watching (Hoyt, 1995).”

“Why should it be less “authentic” for example, when the Makah, a native American tribe of the Pacific northwest coast, use rifles rather than harpoons when hunting whales (see firestone and Lilley 2005), since surely they did not always have the ironworking technology to make an effective harpoon?”

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.
