**2014**

- [2389416-026](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/2389416-026) [empirical/evidenced] -- The March 2012 discontinuity estimates remain statistically significant and stable at larger bandwidths, while very small bandwidths yield confidence intervals containing zero and would not detect any discontinuity.
  > As Figure 10 shows, the estimates are statistically significant and rather stable also for larger bandwidths.

**2021**

- [3782198-010](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/3782198-010) [failure/argued] *(failure mode)* -- The incentive design in which originators of TCP requests pay the bill failed to solve web hosting costs, because the Tragedy of the Commons asserted itself and porn and pirated file sharing, sometimes set up by the ISPs themselves to game the payment design, consumed available bandwidth.
  > This didn't solve the problem, as naturally the Tragedy of the Commons9 asserted itself. Porn sites and pirated file sharing (often set up by the ISPs themselves to game the payment design10) quickly used up any available bandwidth.
