Problems of Involvement and Detachment
Abstract
Old Lady: Are you not prejudiced ? Author: Madame, rarely will you meet a more prejudiced man nor one who {ells himself he keeps his mind more open. But cannot that be because one part of our mind, that svhich we act with, becomes prejudiced through experience, and still we keep another part completely open to observe and judge with ? Old Lady: Sir, I do not know. Athor: Madame, neither do I and it may well be that we are talking nonsense. Old Lady: That is an odd term and one I did not encounter in my youth. Athor: Madame, we apply the term now to describe unsoundness in abstract conversation, or, indeed, any overmetaphysical tendency in speech. Old Lady: I must learn to use these terms correctly. E. Hemingway, Death in the afternoon.

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.
