Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • We cannot be sure to what extent the precepts were actually observed, and we do not know to what extent the precepts regulating early Indian Buddhist ascetic life have factually been included in the Pali Vinaya.

    “Regarding factuality and completeness of the Pali Vinaya , we cannot be sure to what extent the precepts (and this is true for all Vinayas ) were actually observed and, turning this problem around, we do not know to what extent the precepts regulating early Indian Buddhist ascetic life have factually been included in the Pali Vinaya .”
  • There are several serious difficulties with consulting the Pali Vinaya as a historical document.

    “However, as Vinaya experts have pointed out, there are several serious difficulties with consulting the Pali Vinaya as a historical document.”
  • The anti-ritualism of many early Western scholars of Buddhism has resulted in a serious distortion of the tradition, which privileges certain textual fragments over the practices and beliefs of Buddhism monks and laymen over the ages.

    “In particular, the anti-ritualism of many early Western scholars of Buddhism has resulted in a serious distortion of the tradition, which privileges certain textual fragments over the practices and beliefs of Buddhism monks and laymen over the ages.”

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.
