Domain-specific

• Monty Hall problem
  • The puzzle's persistent counter-intuitiveness — vos Savant estimated that the magazine received some 10,000 letters declaring her solution wrong, close to a thousand of them signed by PhD holders, many on mathematics- and science-department letterhead — is documented in the cognitive psychology literature (Granberg and Brown 1995 found only about 12–13% of subjects switching on first encounter, a rate that climbed to roughly 55% only after repeated play)

Verification

Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.

Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 1 citation: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.

Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
