    This sourceInsider account of Tibetan (Geluk) monastic education, with detailed treatment of the theory and practice of formal debate (defender/challenger roles, clap-emphasis gestures, reductio); supports the Tibetan-monastic-debate example (the body sentence at line 199). Re-sourced: the original key cited a non-existent chapter ("Oral Debate in Tibetan Buddhist Monasteries" in a Tillemans-edited Buddhist Scholasticism and Belief, Dharma Drum) under a wrong author initial ("L. P. Dreyfus").

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.
