- [6192998-005](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/6192998-005) [failure/argued] *(failure mode)* -- Token curated registries create economic security against spam through staking and challenge, but they produce only binary accept or reject outcomes and therefore supply no mechanism for nuanced quality assessment or for attributing collaborative contributions.
  > While this creates economic security against spam, it produces only binary outcomes as in accept or reject heuristics and provides no mechanism for nuanced quality assessment or attribution of collaborative contributions.

- [6192998-006](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/6192998-006) [failure/argued] *(failure mode)* -- Academic citation networks do attribute foundational contributions, but they depend on centralized institutional contexts with stable identities and long horizons, and they suffer citation gaming, prestige bias, and poor real time quality assessment.
  > However, these systems operate in centralized institutional contexts with stable identities and long time horizons. They also suffer from citation gaming, prestige bias, and poor mechanisms for real-time quality assessment.18

- [6192998-011](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/6192998-011) [failure/argued] *(failure mode)* -- The 2018 system produces only binary accept or reject outcomes, so it has no way to express intermediate assessments such as good but not great, or excellent innovation with poor execution.
  > Problem 1: Binary validation only. The system produces only binary outcomes (accept/reject). No mechanism exists to say "good but not great" or "excellent innovation, poor execution."
