Abstract

detriment of their social and human consequences. A technocrat is analytical, intense, extremely rigid, methodical, uncompromising, detail-oriented, and often brilliant. Technocrats build walls around their emotions and lack self-knowledge. Perceiving themselves incapable of making mistakes, technocrats blame others for their faults. A technocrat's strategic vision, if it can be called that, is fixated on analyzing in excruciating detail the vision another has created. Incapable of creating themselves, Technocrats pass themselves off as brilliant because of their analytical and technical virtuosity. They're big on organizational charts. Very big on systems and structures and rules, Pitcher says.

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.
