Domain-specific

• Problem of Points
  • The problem had earlier proposed solutions, so it should not be described as created from nothing in 1654; recent historical scholarship cautions that the correspondence's status as the singular birth of probability is partly a later historiographic construction.

Verification

Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.

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.
