- . Political communication — a politician's hedged remark becoming a campaign attack ad, then an op-ed premise, then "everyone knows," with the original conditions stripped at each transmission. Corporate communication — an n=12 internal pilot result becoming a press-release claim, then a customer-success story, then marketing copy by hop three, the sample-size caveat lost along the way. Meta-research on scholarly citation chains — the "X said Y" cite that, traced back, finds X said something materially different, extensively documented in the citation-accuracy literature

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? Read against the text for 1 of 1 citation: 1 supported. 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.
