“In fact, as I have mentioned, children learning English never leap to the conclusion that it is a free-word-order language and speak in multiple, often ungrammatical orders (Brown 1973; Braine 1976; Pinker 1984; Bloom, Lightbown, and Hood 1975).”

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.
