kaal:claim:6269518-014

The existing citation-weighted framework provides no mechanism for verifying citation accuracy, no separate incentive for honest attribution, and no penalty for strategic under-citation, so the gap is a structural absence in the mechanism design rather than an oversight in presentation.

Source quote, verbatim
This gap is not merely an oversight in presentation. It reflects a structural absence in the mechanism design. The existing framework provides no mechanism for verifying citation accuracy, no separate incentive for honest attribution, and no penalty for strategic under-citation.
