Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Clinging and attachment lead to resistance to change and distortions in perceptions, memories and thinking.

    “Clinging and attachment lead to resistance to change and distortions in perceptions, memories and thinking (Rahula 1974).”

    From Awareness Versus Un-Clinging: Which Matters in Mindfulness? (2017) · cites this paper as Rahula 1974

    The passage labelled “(parihnejja).” says people cling to deeply held ideas and do not wish to hear or understand teachings against them, supporting resistance to contrary ideas. A passage labelled “Continuing the discourse the Buddha said in the same sutta-.” links detachment with seeing things as they are. Neither passage establishes that attachment distorts memories, and the source does not clearly make the full claim about distortions in perception and thinking. (LLM, conf=0.85)

    Experimental — accuracy not yet measured

  • Clinging is considered to be a hindrance to understanding the truth or reaching awakening.

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.
