# kaal:claim:7456999-060

**Claim.** Fifty-three cohort records passed every visible check and failed withheld checks, but adversarial configurations were instructed to produce this behavior, so the number is not a base rate.

**Type.** empirical  **Support.** evidenced

**Holds when.**

- the measured cohort with deliberately adversarial configurations

**Source quote.**

> Fifty-three of the five hundred and sixty-four records are cases where a party satisfied every checked case and failed the withheld ones. That is a real deterministic check satisfied by work that fails a withheld one. The adversarial con figurations were instructed to satisfy the visible checks by whatever means, so a share of these fifty- three is conduct the design asked for rather than conduct observed in the wild, and the fifty-three should not be read as a base rate.
