Jekyll's inability to regain control over Hyde illustrates the limitations of science in understanding and controlling human nature, and critiques the notion that scientific advancement can provide complete understanding of humanity.
“Additionally, Dr. Jekyll's inability to regain control over Mr. Hyde illustrates not only the fatal consequences of his overconfidence in his experiments but also reflects a profound internal conflict and loss of self-mastery. This structure highlights the inherent limitations of science in fully understanding and controlling human nature.”

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.
