Domain-specific

• Quoting Out of Context
  • Restoring the omitted context is a diagnostic test of this gap, although correction does not guarantee the first impression disappears.

Mechanisms

• Pull-Quote and Caveat Pairing
  • It directly counters contextomy — quoting out of context to distort meaning — by making the honest reading the structurally easiest one to lift.

    This sourceContextomy is selective quotation out of context in a way that distorts the intended meaning.

• Quote-Snippet Context Window
  • The discipline is to size the window by truth-conditions — the minimum context that changes the reading — not by whichever framing helps, which is the difference between context and contextomy, the quoting of a source out of context so as to distort it.

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? Not recorded. Neither this nor any other of the 3 citations of this work carries a recorded support check.

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.
