Mechanisms¶
- Counterfactual Value-Delta Table
- Its failure mode is the ease of manufacturing rows: the mind generates upward counterfactuals (how it could have been better) far more fluently than downward ones, so a naively filled table over-represents almost-wins and inflates their apparent deltas.
This sourceReports that people spontaneously generate upward counterfactuals far more often than downward alternatives.

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? 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.
