Claim. A positive reading would not say the weights mattered: the attribution sentence is issued only if the pool's contrast against full replacement and the reputation pool's contrast against the equal-weight pool are both superior in every family including the homogeneous one, the oracle premise and ladder rungs 3 and 4 pass in every family, and the key cap holds.

Type. condition · Support. stated

Holds when

• The positive reading and the attribution sentence are distinct registered claims with distinct conditions.
• If the reputation contrast is null or negative in any family, the paper may say only that any difference is not attributable to reputation over equal weighting.

The positive reading would not say the weights mattered. That needs the attribution sentence, issued only if the pool's contrast against full replacement and the reputation pool's contrast against the equal-weight pool are both superior in every family, the homogeneous one included, the oracle premise and ladder rungs 3 and 4 pass in every family, and the key cap holds.
