If the assumptions behind XTENT are plausible and significant, then the observations have general repercussions for understanding past networks and connectivity, independent of shortcomings in concepts or flaws in data of individual case studies.
“Provided that the assumptions behind XTENT are both plausible and significant (gravity models are an accepted tool in spatial analysis: Evans et al., 2008;Rivers et al., 2013;Ortman et al., 2015), then these observations have general repercussions for our understanding of past networks and connectivity, that are independent of shortcomings in concepts or flaws in the data of individual case studie”

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.
