Domain-specific¶
- Frequentist Probability
- Likewise, the limit invoked by the strict account cannot be directly inspected from a finite record and may fail to exist for a badly specified sequence.
This sourceThe ANU institutional publication record and author abstract support the reference-class claim; the full article is not used here.

Mechanisms¶
- Reference Population Note
- It is what keeps "4.1%" or "1 in 8" from being silently re-based when it's quoted downstream — a written instance of the reference-class problem, the fact that the same case belongs to many populations
This sourceDefines the reference-class problem: the same case can belong to multiple classifications and receive different probabilities under each.

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. Neither this nor any other of the 2 citations of this work carries a 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.
