Domain-specific¶
- Monty Hall problem
- Not a genuine paradox. Popular usage calls it the "Monty Hall paradox," but the result contains no contradiction: it is a veridical result — true, provable, and uncontroversial among probabilists — that merely violates intuition
This sourceThe standard book-length treatment, which works the mathematics classically and by Bayes and locates the difficulty in 'our cognitive difficulties in reasoning about uncertainty' rather than in any inconsistency; the 'veridical paradox' label is Quine's and would need its own citation.

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? 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.
