kaal:claim:7598518-044

Claim. Because the simulated validators err independently given an accuracy that depends only on the tag, shared lineage, correlated errors, and error that depends on whether content is rare are excluded by construction, and the study supplies no evidence about correlated assessors or about reputation concentrating in a lineage.

Type. condition · Support. stated

Holds when

• The exclusion is a property of the simulation, not an observed null.
• Correlated assessors are among the conditions a reputation mechanism would face in deployment.

Source quote

Its validators are simulated, and the families are, in the design's words, the result. They err independently given their accuracy, which depends only on the tag, so shared lineage, correlated errors, and error that depends on whether content is rare are excluded by construction, and the study supplies no evidence about correlated assessors or about reputation concentrating in a lineage.
