Subclaims¶
Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.
q3 i? Expert faculty rated 93.8% of LLM-generated misconceptions as Excellent on a structured rubric assessing plausibility, accuracy, relevance, and clarity. → Parker 2025
