Mechanisms

• Baseline Reference Swap
  • Denominator neglect makes a per-capita or per-dollar figure feel like the same measurement re-scaled when it has actually introduced population or output as a hidden term.

    This sourceDemonstrates denominator neglect: equivalent risks can be judged differently when expressed with different numerical denominators.

Verification

Does it exist? Not checked yet. This work's DOI is recorded above but has not been resolved against an external catalogue, so nothing here confirms the work exists.

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.
