Domain-specific

• Appeal to probability
  • The entry is a reasoning diagnostic, not a tool for denying rare risks or for assigning probabilities without evidence; legal and safety decisions require their own standards.

Verification

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

Does it back the claim? Not recorded. The single citation of this work carries no 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.
